Some recent things I've been working on...
Above, this bag will hopefully get finished today. I am about to attach the handles but they come with little 'shield shaped' pieces in the same vinyl and I've never seen this before and wasn't sure what to do with them. So I slept on it and woke up thinking, hey I bet those get stitched on the lining side for reinforcement(!). No? Maybe not but I think that's what I'll try and do.
I dyed the pink linen lining myself. I have several pieces in different colors and these just (luckily )seemed to go well with this print.
And this bag. It had gone through several modifications before ending like this. At least the handles did. I tried 3 different ways and ended pretty happily with these. The top bag will be the same shape, just vinyl handles.

It's a great looking bag! I like to make things, too, that have a purpose. Today, I had some time and wanted to make something. I looked at my plastic basket full of thread, all wild and jumbled and in a few hours, I had made a cute little fabric basket to hold about 1/2 of them. Now I need another afternoon to make a twin! Cool that you dye your own fabric!
