As Promised ~

Okeedokee....

 

so here is what the little hooked mat,

 denim fabric and polkadot fabric turned into this afternoon...

a sweet messenger bag!

 

 

my old cage dress-form displays the new bag ~

I machine sewed the denim to the linen edges of the rug,

...then handstitched on the tortoise-shell rings for the strap...

 

 



love those polkadots!

...the strap is also made from the denim,

and I added a magnetic closure to the top/inside of the purse...

 

 



I can smell the lavender already ~ soon it will be here!!

and as an added touch,

I made sure the pocket of the old bluejeans were put to good use...
...now I won't lose my cellphone down the bottom of the bag!

 

 

 



nice touch!

Oh!

I just realized this little bag

is thee perfect size to carry my tablet in too!

ha!! ...electonics on the go!

 



old meets new = love!

 

I think I'll design a couple different versions of this style purse to hook...
and, perhaps I'll offer them as patterns for you all to make one for yourselves too ~

 

...any suggestions or comments?

 

~ have a beautiful evening ~
