The Bag Lady

Who can resist beautiful bags? Satchels, totes, duffle bags...you name them, I need them! I cannot resist gorgeous fabrics either and that includes oil cloth. These days oil cloths come in so many different shades and patterns, surely they must have more than the usual purpose of covering a table top?

I've had a long week, so I went to buy some oil cloth and ordered a beautiful vintage panel online as well. Then I followed my doctor's orders ...


And made a number of bags of different sizes..........


A big bag for a week of groceries


A smaller bag when I run out of bread, butter or eggs...


I received orders for 2 bags - one for the mum and one for the daughter



The following bag is for my friend


Then I made another fully lined bag for my camera or other knick knacks. This bag comes with a zip.


Finally with all the leftover fabric, I made two cushion covers and a mug caddy.




And more cushions

I still have some lovely oil cloth so I'll be sewing more bags. Meanwhile...
