Anyway after my last bag (the post with no words so maybe your favourite) I'm onto my next bag. This time I've opted for a hand bag, again my usual lengthy fabric selection.... its not my fault the shop has too many nice ones in.... so anyway I adapted a pattern from a book. Get me eh adapting patterns! Anyway its basically strips of fabric which have been backed onto some calico to give it a bit of substance. I added some lace from my 'meagre' stash which I dyed to match it in better.
So.....
The part done bag! Now at the moment it doesn't look like that at all. Since then its almost finished I just need to put the handle on, so I'll show it to you then.

Now while I was on such a roll I was looking at some scraps of fabric, now you can't throw them away can you? So before I knew it I'd got them sewn onto a scrap of calico... added a zip and ta-darrrrrr
A purse!
Of course it matches my new bag perfectly!
