New bag, new toy

I had a new toy this week it's for taking pics,
hopefully better ones!
I also made these to give away for a fund raising event.
I hope they'll be okay. I've just re-read the email about it
and the theme is supposed to be the area where the
event is being hosted. There's plenty of time so maybe
I'll so some research before I send them off.
I found this bag here before Christmas and I've just
got round to making it up. I never completely follow
patterns exactly. I wanted to try the 'raggy' technique
and I also wanted to try using polyester fleece for
quilting the blocks. Both worked well.

However, I did make the house rather smelly inorder

to be able to finish the bag. I tea dyed some webbing

to make a more serviceable colour.

And of course I always make one unplanned detour

from the plan or a mistake (the brain stopped

functioning). I meant to stitch the handles on before

I stitched in the lining. No worries, at least the lining is

secure. I don't like shoulder bags that are open so I put

a zip in.

This small project ticked a few boxes:

- new technique, polyester fleece wadding, secure bag,

- used supplies from the stash, satisfaction on completion.
