I used a globaltex fabric and some printed cotton for the inside.
I will make the handles longer next time, and I won't do the trim in both fabrics I will do it the same on both sides. Also I think it would have been easier if my fabrics weren't different weights when fixing the trims and handles.
(This is my excuse for the quite hideous stitching in places!!!)
I haven't used it yet (the handles are a bit short!!!) but its hung at the bottom of the stairs, so I can admire it and big myself up every time I walk past!!
My very kind friend Viv has made 2 this week......looking good!

well done love.. you clever thing you!

Gorgeous!!! I love making bags, and think ours are lovely, and appeal to me much more than expensive designer bags!!
Went to Bicester Village today, saw that there's a Vivienne Westwood shop there.Her 'CHEAP 'bags were £250 upwards!!! Just as well I do prefer hand made!!
Went to CK too!! Now that was worth it!!!
Have a great week!

Hi Claire,
I love the bag, it's very pretty. By looking at your previous post I'd say you have developed a bunting fetish ;-)
I Just thought I'd let you know that I've finally updated my blog with your lovely swap gifts.

I think your stitching looks loads better than mine, I had to handstitch half of the inside binding and that wasnt fun at all! I havent used mine yet either - will admire it for a little while first before it gets grubby!! X
Gorgeous bag, well done.

I am loving that, it's tremendous.
Your bag looks lovely - well done! I love colours you've chosen.
I have an idea !! think about adding an extra handle shoulder length...many bags have both i recently bough one that had them and vintage bags most always had them ..food for thought ? maybe Kieren x
