Handmade Shopping Bags

I've had a piece of upholstery fabric in a drawer for years and I thought it was time I did something with it so I've made three bags all slightly different.

I used small pieces of velvet ribbon to hold the straps in place on the top one.



I turned the corner piece to the outside as a design feature instead of to the inside [and cutting off] and stitched on buttons with cross stitch to keep in place.

Crazy Patchwork Bag - Green

I made bags for gifts for my arty friends, this is one of them. One side is crazy patchwork, the other side is crazy patchwork and embroidery. I used thick coat fabrics, tweeds and cords - all vintage.
