Thank you Leslie. I enjoyed making it, and might do another to try out some of the design improvements I thought of, but my boredom threshold is too low to make production quantities — and I could never compete with mass-produced stuff. I have huge admiration for real artisans though!
Thank you Joanne. I think I’ve said before that when it comes to projects I have boundless enthusiasm, varying skill levels and a low boredom threshold. I suspect that’s not an ideal combination — but I do have tenacity so stuff at least gets finished 🙂 Happy weekend.
Thanks; it was very slow work. Mainly I suspect because I’m not particularly confident and I checked and double-checked everything. I am pretty happy with the results, but I doubt I’ll be making too many more.
Ah – I´ve been hoping you would share a picture of your new bag!! 🙂 It is very beautiful, I really like the style, texture and colouring! And it looks sooo professional! I would be so proud to wear a bag like that! It would be definitely a rival for my favourite one 😉 (which I´m still clinging to no matter how many people wear the same 😉 ) Great job, Su! You are so taltented on so many things: writing, photography, cooking, sewing… You´re quite the Renaissance Woman, I think 🙂 Have a lovely sunday (well, what is left of it on your side of the globe 😉 ) xxxxxxxxxx ❤
Thank you so much Sarah. I’m going away for a few days this week so will get to test it out. I think I might need to make a couple of padded inserts for my camera and iPad … honestly I’m having so much fun with this. Hope your weekend is going well 🙂 xxx
Your’re very welcome! 🙂 Wish you a wonderful trip and I’m sure your beautiful bag will do perfectly!! 🙂 The inserts sound like a Good idea – I always Add them to my simple shopping bags as well 😉 xxxxx
That looks really professional, Su. You could probably sell them for quite a price.

They could command a higher price because they are originals, not one of those mass produced crapolas.
