Another 'one project a month' finished. Just two weeks ago, I sorted out some leftover fabric from shortening some red curtains and
sanderson linen curtains and a velvet cushion cover I made years ago and decided what to make.....
I made some handles and found a small sampler linen cushion cover I bought from York Minster ages ago.....
this patchwork print fabric is the lining and there was enough to make an inside pocket as well.
now the handles get stitched on,I stitched a box and 'X' to make sure they are really well stitched on ....
and now the lining gets pinned in place....
and here it is finished! (front - above and back below).....
and I did a box base, I found this a bit fiddly because of the sanderson linen fabric was a bit difficult to stitch through, but I think it makes the bag look finished off.
The fabrics go really well together too!

So I'm really pleased how the bag has turned out and it has used up five lots of fabric as well as making a lovely useful strong bag, I can't wait to use it!

Brilliant - the colours work really well together.
Thanks for popping and leaving a comment on my food post. I've tried one recipe so far, and it was delicious.
