That British Woman: some sewing I have done in the past couple of months......

Sunday, July 15, 2018

Made another handbag, this time in orange and blue, with the orange and blue cork on the bottom and handles.

Added a matching key chain as well. I posted it on a couple of local sites, but no takers as of yet.

Made Nora and Paige matching skirts.

Again matching but two different colours.

Dd wanted a new table runner, so made this one for her.

It is nicer in person. She wants a tote bag in the same material.

This is the back and the binding for it. Feels very 60's too me.

Another cork and fabric cosmetic bag.

Peek inside of it:

KarenW said...: My MIL made me a bag identical to the orange and blue one at the top of your post...but in black and white fabric. I love that bag for hauling around my knitting. She put a grommet up top near the handle to feed the end of the yarn through so it wasn't bouncing out.
Good work Gill. Your sewing skills have really evolved since I've been reading your blog.; July 16, 2018 at 11:30 AM
