Yellow Spring Bag

 

Hello! It has been a wonderful weekend, with lots of warm and sunny Spring weather. I even managed to work a little bit in the garden, which isn’t really something I like to do. No green fingers over here.

Today we celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. It makes me feel rather old but also it makes me proud that we have managed to come this far.

In the meantime I finished the Spring Bag.

As always I started with not a clear idea about how it had to become. I collected a few fabrics and embroidered a panel. Then I started sewing pieces together in a way I liked it. Bit by bit the bag grew. I decided it had to become a messenger bag and by then I knew how to put everything together.

The strap length is adjustable and the bag has an inside pocket with a zipper. It closes with a little strap and double D-rings. It measures approximately 12 x 10 inch, so big enough to put all your stuff in.

 

Groetjes, Dorien

  1. Your bag is so unique with it's embroidered panel giving it a bit of an oriental look to it. An amazing colour combination too, you're very clever at putting all the elements together!
