Sew Gorgeous managed to be given a large stash of scraps from a locate quilter. Amongst the pile were the remains of a couple of dresses that included the pockets and trims etc.
I was inspired by these to make a bag. I used calico for the base, edged in spotty trim. All of the fabric, pockets and flap for the fastening apart from the calico & the red lining came from the stash.

I added two handles using the spotty strip and some red gross grain ribbon.
Two inside pockets - one small...
and one a bit bigger.
I lined the inside with bright red fabric and another strip of the spotty trim.
I then had lots of fun adding a load of Suffolk puffs (yoyos), vintage buttons, bows, etc. I love the prints on the fabrics.
I think it looks a little like Cath Kidston style although it wasn't meant to!
It does look quite CK! This should be a beach bag. We need to go to the beach :p x
