A summer bag

HI. Just popping in to say hi. I am a bit busy with gardening for the moment. Spending almost every minute digging and weeding. Planting flowers. Not much time left over to crafty stuff but...

I made this bag a while ago. My oldest girl Nelly Bo has used it as a gym bag (!!!) but now it is back in my hands and this is going to be my strolling summer bag. :D It is perfect for a magazine or a crafty book and a small crochet or hexagon project. Me like this! :D

It is a simple design. Two rectangels sewn together. I also added a pocket on the front with a nice lace trim. Inside the pocket is another smaller pocket for cellphone or keys. I used velcro as closing arrangement on it.

I like the cross stitching at the attachments of the handles. It gives it a bit of a professional look in my eyes.

I really improvised this bag and because of not using a pattern it took me a while... let me put it this way - I used my seam ripper quite a lot...

But looking at it now, haven't seen it in a few months and I had almost forgotten about it,  I think it is adorable. I just love this fabric and the faded colors. I would love to have an old cozy armchair in this fabric, wouldn't that just be gorgeous?

Now, back to gardening. See you soon. I got some great stuff to share soon.

Kärlek
