It's summer! I have been making a few pairs of tatted earrings lately (nothing new I'm afraid, just a favourite pattern I keep using) but I also enjoyed making a couple more bags.
My tatting friend who loves making bags invited me for a bag-making day a while ago and on another occasion more recently. The first time I made this nice toiletry bag:
(the bag is symmetrical, it's my photo that's wonky!)
And more recently I made this unusual travel bag with triple zip:
My friend's bag on the right and mine on the left.
The pattern is "Triple Sling" by Country Cow Designs.
The only change I made is that I rounded the corners at the bottom of my bag more than the original design. And if I was making it again, I think I would add a side to the bag (it's flat) so that it would be a bit roomier. Otherwise it's a really interesting design.
I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful summer!
Best wishes,
Frivole
I like the bags, and earrings. I have a sewing pupil who loves making bags of all kinds. I’ll show him your triple zip bag, he’ll like that.
ReplyDeleteI hope he'll like it! And it's nice to hear of boys sewing and crafting. :-)
DeleteLovely bags! I've been thinking of making some origami pouches as knitting project bags. It's been years since I've made one, and I'm kind of feeling the itch to sew.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I get the "itch to sew" regularly! So satisfying and much quicker to finish a project than lace-making. I shall look up "origami pouches"...
DeleteGreat earrings and bags!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-)
DeleteBeautiful earrings, I love your bag very pretty and your travel bag, great design and handy to have everything in front of you rather than a back pack which can be opened without you seeing, brilliant idea for a travel bag.
