MAGPIE-PIXIE

I`ve been busy the past few days

making the extra give away winner

prizes . A sneak peak of one completed below.

I`m not saying who`s it is * giggle *

But i will posting it tomorrow ;o)

And i finished my own large Eco friendly bag .

This turned out to take longer than i expected !

Just 2 rectangles sewn on 3 sides , one turned

right side out from having right sides facing each

other .Then place one inside the other - so it is

lined , and then sandwich the handles in between the

2 pieces and sew along on the top edge .

I bought this vintage looking material a while ago

and i wish now i had purchased more of it !

The finished bag ..

Inside - which can be turned inside out .

You could put a contrasting material - but i

wanted the same .

I re-enforced my handles with iron on interfacing

and i liked the selvedge edge of the material -

instead of having to turn it over to sew !

Before i sewed the sides - i wanted a pocket

so i made a lined one . Which will be on the outside

or the inside if i turn it about .

This is going on holiday with me in a few weeks time-

although it did take me longer than anticipated -

it was well worth it ! I try and carry or reuse bags

all the time and i have an original created bag for myself !

I have some of the material left and have plans

for that - so stay tuned ;o)
