After a very slow start to this week, due to the melancholia which set in because of the terrible tragedy being enacted in Victoria with the bushfires, the creative juices are finally beginning to flow. This bag is for a friend's sister who has her own distresses to deal with.
The floral fabric is thrifted from the Gold Coast (thanks again Lana!!) and the purple was on special in Ikea, Sydney. I have free machine embroidered the yoke for an extra touch. The lass is a large girl and wanted to be able to use the bag across her body or else hanging on the handles of her sons stroller. I hope she likes it!
I'm sure she will like the bag, it's lovely!

My thoughts are with all those affected by the devastating fires.
Such a tragedy.

ReplyDeleteThanks Cherrie for your kind words - the quilt top will be very gratefully received and I totally agree with needing some crafty goodness as medicine!
ReplyDeletelovely combinations of colours. I too love a big bag, as I tend to carry everything including the kitchen sink in my bags.........no wonder my shoulders hurt!!
