One Project A Month - October - Autumn Bag

Well it's taken most of the weekend but I finally finished it, applique leaves, a bag for Autumn.

It's lined and it's been unpicked twice as I'm not very good at sewing linings into bags but I've even managed to make two inside pockets as well.

I've used a lovely script design fabric which is good quality cotton fabric leftover from when I made some bathroom curtains years ago but I think it looks okay and the applique leaf designs are the same on both sides of the bag.

I've added it to my website, more info here,

http://www.sykesssillysite.co.uk/shop_bags_p80.htm and "sale items" page now updated.

I have enough cream fabric left to make another leaf design bags but with a different lining and some red, green,yellow and brown velvet fabric for the leaves.

I've also made another shopping bag, this one is made from the lovely rose print fabric and is also on the website.

(If anyone is wondering if I'm selling Morsbags, to quote from the Morsbag forum "without a label it is a bag not a Morsbag".

Custom Order: Oh I nearly forgot I was asked to make a Rosali hearts peg bag the other week to match the carrier bag holder they already have which I made for them ages ago, so that was sent last week, so I'll count that as a finish for One Project A Month for September.

The peg bag order is the reason I've still got the purple rag quilt to finish yet, so that's me busy for the next few weeks, just 128 squares to sew together.
