I really miss my man, but you know what? I've had such a productive, relaxing and all round nice weekend. Yes the house is in mess and there is washing on the line that's been there for days, but who cares? Not I and not my tidy-freak fiancé (as he's still in Spain, Rioja). He he! Yep I'm making the most of it :)
So I was able to sew uninterrupted all weekend LUXURIOUS BLISS. Firstly I made the new Easy Peasy Purse Kit...
.
Hot of the machine, I've just put the new batch of Easy Peasy Purse Kits in the shop today. To see how you could win this finished purse read on....
The next thing I made was this groovy bag that I need your help in naming...
I could well imagine rocking up to a summer picnic with this bag or taking it on holidays. That said, this pattern would look fab in wools or corduroys for the cooler months.
Front. It's a roomy
size of 15" x 10" (38cm x 26cm), great for longer trips into town, but is still feminine. It will
comfortably hold a book, a bottle of water, cardi, wallet and camera. Closure is a flap and mag snap.
Nice rounded shape (yes I know I have a thing for rounded shapes, but I think curvy makes the world go round - see what I did there?) The bag is double lined with fleece to help maintain it's 3D shape (without it feeling rigid). I can confirm feels so nice and squishy by your side. The handle is wide and long enough to slip over your arm.
Soft Bottom :)
Inside there is smart self-trimmed inner pocket and also a key/wallet hook to deter naughty fingers. I HATE naughty fingers (after my wallet was pinched earlier this month).
Contest Details (please read carefully)
Okay, hopefully you know the drill by now :) I'll send the blue purse (with scissors on it featured at the top of this post) to one winner.
To enter all you have to do is comment on THIS PARTICULAR POST by:
- Picking a name for this PDF PATTERN. As a couple of pointers I tend NOT to name my items after girls names (such as 'Alice Purse' because IMHO that has little meaning...), instead I tend to lean towards names which in some way describe the item.
- Please DO NOT focus on the fabric of this bag as this is a pattern only. Ta!
