my creative space: lovely bag

I was so excited when I received some Skinny Laminx fabric "Wildflowers - lemon plum" in the post earlier this week! I have been waiting for it in anticipation... desperately wanting to make a new messenger style bag, as my poor trusty old one was looking a bit sad... actually, a little bit embarrassing to take out in public... my poor old bag... I will miss you!


Anyway I couldn't wait and cut the pattern out that afternoon! It took me over an hour agonizing over pattern placement as I only have 70cm to work with and it had to be right! :)


Lucky for me, my partner was away that evening which meant I could have a whole evening of sewing, sewing, sewing and no interruptions.. Total bliss!!! I didn't get to bed until 11.30pm... whoops! :)


I love love love my new bag! I'm so happy with how it turned out, it's always such a great feeling to be able to make something exactly how you picture it in your head! I can't wait to take it out into the world! :)

    An absolute winner! The fabric is just divine and the bag style is fantastic. What kind of rings did you use on the strap, Lamina? It's a great pattern. You should make some in your own fabric :) Kx

      Thanks Kylie! I actually cut the rings off an old much loved bag...it was really hard to do but a sacrfice had to be made for my new bag!
      Yes I am planning to make a bag out of my fabric... just have to find the time somehow :)
