My reason for learning to sew

Year after year, I have seen the most beautiful bags, hanging up on the Button Angel stall, at craft shows. And time after time, I have asked whether I could buy one, ready made, only to be told "no, they are a kit!" They contain lots of embroidery, patchwork and appliqué and as a non sewer, I didn't think I would ever have one. Anyway, after learning to sew I took the plunge and bought the kit that had the least embroidery and appliqué on and decided to give it a go. I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. (The front is the same as the back)

    Beautiful Michele. Well done you. I hope the shoulder strap was one piece and you didn't have to sew each little strip individually. Gorgeous detailing on the front as well. Love it

    Just beautiful, Michele. Those colours and shapes are so pretty together, and it would never have crossed my mind that you would have hesitated about designing your own. Knowing your scrapping skills and meticulous attention to detail, anything you make is always going to be stunning. You can have faith in yourself, Michele - we do :).
