Tea with Martha's new bag

Shared by teawithmartha in the Fabric Crafts


Product Description:

I was inspired to make this bag by the combination of this rich creamy-beige wool, some Liberty Wiltshire print and some red-brown leather. I made nine flowers by appliquing Liberty cotton flowers onto leather and finishing each one with a vintage button. I then appliqued these onto a patchwork of the cream wool to make a pretty and eye catching front piece to the bag. The rest of the exterior is in the same wool, the adjustable strap is the same wool on the underside and the Liberty print on the outerside. The interior is in a gold-brown linen with a pocket (correct size for an iphone). A magnetic clasp fastens the bag. Myself and my daughter braved the freezing conditions and the snow to get these shots - she's still smiling though.
