I just couldn't wait to share my latest creation - a project bag. It was inspired by a crocheted heart I saw on Donna 's (bythebayneedleart) blog. She has provided an excellent tutorial on how to make them. Her hearts have flowers on them but I don't have this skill. I chose instead to cut out some felt leaves and put one of my red vintage buttons in the center as my flower. As soon as I saw the heart, I envisioned a project bag made out of red, lined with fabric, zippered at the top with handles. I purchased red wool and lined it with a fabric by French General. I made the entire bag in a couple of hours and couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.
You just never know what will give you that spark of inspiration!
Stunning! Of course I love the red but also the inside fabric is wonderful! And what a great idea to use a vintage button. But now what will your Super Bowl project be?

Oh, I really love that bag, especially the handles.
ReplyDeleteDid I mention that my birthday is on Halloween? :)
LOL! I know when your birthday is and if that is what you want it makes gift giving so much easier. Long time to have to wit for it though.
