New Bags

I have been such a slack blogger in the last week or so. I haven't been online much at all. Spring has sprung, so wonderful with all the blossom and fine weather, I love it so much. However I am not so fond of the sinus infections that plague me from all the pollen. Whilst I have not been online much, I have been busy polishing off some work for an order. I completely forgot to post about the bags I designed and made the other weekend when that evil migraine struck. Many thanks for the well wishes. I finally got around to taking some pictures of them today in the park.






The beauty of designing your own bag, is making it so it has the things you need. I've had this bag in my head for quite some time. The bag turned out a great size, it will hold a nice chunky book ( I hate going out without a book) and lots of other things. It has two pockets inside, two pockets on the back for quick and easy access to my keys and sunnies. The strap in long enough to go over shoulder, or across my body. The flap closes with a magnetic snap lock. I am so happy with it I have been dragging it everywhere with me over the last week.

The second bag was very quick and simple. Its a lined and appliquéd drawstring bag for my little one's toys. So far its only been used for transporting her dog softies ( she loves dogs) around home and up to Grandma's house. I keep finding it in the lounge room, at least I know she likes it enough to play with it!

What gorgeous bags! I love the first one, it's so colourful and happy, just the thing for carrying a spring-inspired novel around. You're very clever, whilst I can knit and crochet, sewing has never been much of a forte.

Good luck with sinus problems - if it's hayfever have you heard of the honey remedy? Try eating a teaspoon of honey a day, it's supposed to make your body think that pollen is less of something it has to fight. Might be worth a go!
