Anteater Bag

Hi! Here's a bag I made with the Hippo Hobo pattern, for my friend Chrissie. Her daughter has an anteater obsession, so we searched all over for some anteater fabric! I think this design is really cute - I hope she will too!

Another Hippo Hobo Bag

Hi! I made this one for my mum - she loves dogs, and chose this fabric from my stash. She also chose the cork fabric - we're both fascinated by it! It's lovely to use, and feels very soft, and it's great to pretty much have a wooden bag!

I used Scotchgard on the dog fabric, so it would be easier to wipe clean - it's the first time I've used it, but I think I'll use it on everything now :)

As this was for my mum, I really wanted it to turn out well, and I'm a bit gutted about the wonky top stitching around the top, but my mum says she doesn't care, and that I'm the only one who will notice it. I hope she's right!

Hippo Hobo Bag

Hiya

Here's a bag I made a few days ago. I used the Hippo Hobo pattern, by Emkie Designs. I used faux leather for the first time, which was ok, just tricky to sew folded seams as you can't press it flat, and you have to use clips instead of pins. It was nice to use, though. I also used 3mm scrim for the first time, instead of fleece, but I wish I hadn't - it's a bit too bulky! Next time I will stick to the fleece! But overall, I'm pretty pleased with the new bag :)
