Another Bag

Here's another bag WIP. It's still a work in progress because I have yet to decide where to put the little corsages, how many to have and whether or not to add any other embellishments.

I have made this one from thrifted, unused tweed bought at the bootsale last Sunday and lined with a 1950's cotton, finished off with a vintage button. I used an interfacing with this one to give it more body. It worked well, It's less floppy than the other one.

I like that one even more than the last one! And how come I never find nice fabric at boot fairs?

I'm SO ready to send you a little package! Shall I use the address on the business card?

After seeing more of your work I'm having some performance anxiety. Looking forward to your feedback :-)

Roxy - I don't know anyone with a baby anymore so i'm not sure who would appreciate a changing bag?!
Tasha- I can't wait to get my little package and I am quite sure your workmanship will be beautiful :-)
Beki- Yes I like making yo-yo's too, we call them Suffolk puffs here
