As ever there are a few modifications. The main one being the feather stitch which I could do eventually but not evenly enough to frame each square, I sewed up the tab end to the long one on the strap for strength rather than relying on just the button, I added an inside pocket and finally, a magnet fastener.

It is a pretty huge bag which would fit an A4 folder in easily so I think I will use it for my maths tutoring work. After having to buy bias binding to finish my dinner mats, I used the remainder for the straps but otherwise I did not spend any money to complete the project.
I have enjoyed looking at all the stitchery from everyone who has joined in and I will continue to tune in. Thanks for motivating me to do a project I never thought I would complete.
Now, it is far too lovely outside to be making a bag inside so Little M and I are off to the park for a play in the autumn sunshine.
Lots of love Jo xxxx
Oh Jo right now I am just a little more than inlove with this wonderful bag that you have created. Wow it is stunning and I love it!!! I honestly think you can start your own little production line of these, there will be quite a few buyers. Fab!!! xoxo

Jo this is such a lovely bag, well done - I am itching to have a go at the embriodery so have picked out a little wee project to start with Chrissie - I wouldn't have normally tried but reading about your wonderful work has inspired me. Great work Jo, fabulous!

It's a really, really nice bag. Love the patchwork and the way you lined it. Nice work - you are one talented lady! x
ReplyDeleteHooray! Good work Jo, it's really good and I love the bias around the strap. Good idea to sew it though incase the button popped off. Your sewing looks a lot better than mine though!
