New Bag!

hurray!!! i've got a new bag!!!   (husband:'do you really need another bag?')

anyway… it all started when i found this cute little japanese top at the op-shop the other day – far too small for me to wear! so i thought i'd match it with some other op-shop fabric that i had in a box and turn it into a bag…

i cut it all to size – outer bag, lining and shoulder strap…

and sewed it up. even managed a little pocket on the inside.

i sewed some beads onto the edge of the flap and silk tassels in the corners. it's the perfect little 'oriental' bag for chinese new year – the year of the rabbit!

okay… and here's a photo that both my husband and one of my best friends said i should share on my blog. it shows my silly turban-loving side…

  1. Funny turban picture! Love your style, what a great find that shirt was and you are so handy to turn it into such a cute bag! I’m impressed, too cute!

  2. Love the color combination of the bag and you definitely do look good in turbans.
    Your felted goods are beautiful.
