Thank you for your comments everybody!!

Have you entered the 'Grab a (free) Bag' draw yet?   Go on, don't be shy!

Thanks you so much everybody for commenting on my previous post.  I'll look through every one of your comments and use your suggestions to make bloggy improvements.  In fact, if this draw works out I'll have more 'Grab a Bag' competitions every now again to help keep this blog in good shape :)  You've all said some really lovely things and I'm really glad that you are finding this a useful read.

I like having this blog as a space to rant and rave about things but nothing is nicer than other people also enjoying what you love.  It feels just brilliant  when someone says 'You've helped me make a bag'.  It makes me feel kinda maternal and sooo happy that other people are also getting pleasure from something that I'm obsessed with!

Just a short post today because I'm up to my eyeballs and I'm planning another tutorial for the blog (and they take aaaaaggggessss!).  I'm going to leave you with some pics sent to me by Jo in UK of an absolutley gorgeous zippered handbag that she has made.  Thanks heaps Jo, love it!

Jo has named this bag 'Sip' after a kindly friend who gave her this wool and cashmere blend fabric (NICE friend!)  In Jo's words the bag "is interfaced within an inch of it's life" which explains why it has such a good shape.  The very pretty button is from Liberty of London - YUM!

Inside view with pretty Alexander Henry print lining.  Very, very nice job of the Zip.
