Last weekend I sold two peg-bags and a shopping bag on the website which means I've been able to buy some new fabric for a change. I am really loving making the shoulder bag pattern and I'm planning to make some more bags, this time to sell. Here are some pics of the fabric I've bought this week.
Michael Miller - Beau Bird Paris, lovely blue print fabric
Alexander Henry - floral
Daisy Letter Bird Script fabric
and I think this one is my favourite "Vintage Dictionary" I can't wait to make this into a bag!

Edit: I've made a start on the front of shoulder bag no 3.
I've finished the first bag and here are some pics.
The fabric is a pretty floral linen print 'Lily' and is lined with a lovely deep yellow fabric with a pocket inside this surprisingly roomy bag...
The straps are just the perfect length for a shoulder bag and finished off with some lovely wooden buttercup design buttons. Just perfect for Springtime.
I'm really pleased with how it's turned out, I think it looks great!
ps) the pattern I've used is the Pretty Pinafore Purse Pattern from here
