My attempts had me swearing I'd rather just shell out and buy one .. but time plays funny tricks on the brain - like childbirth you forget the pain and as our rainy season approaches I'm starting to wonder whether I might have another go this year...<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing yours when you resolve the pockets issue-Mary Nannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02577449410716501317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-11552196040218985792010-02-03T02:06:26.582-08:002010-02-03T02:06:26.582-08:00Hello Samantha Jane,

It is just 2 rectangles sewn together with a couple of stitching lines in the corners to give the "paper bag" bottom. Same thing for the lining, with a strap sandwiched in between. To make the main rectangles of fabric, I made a sampler of remnants using different embellishment techniques (gathering, ruching, pin-tucking, fraying etc).katherine hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314030133556269765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-20009166146512242772010-02-03T01:40:54.795-08:002010-02-03T01:40:54.795-08:00Love your new bag, but I also like the old one, wh...Love your new bag, but I also like the old one, what is the pattern of the old one?Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07732619545779057568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7351864927910092883.post-26146133145341194342010-02-03T01:34:51.319-08:002010-02-03T01:34:51.319-08:00Nice pincushion - looks like a great size.

Thanks for the distraction. I have an enormously ridiculous amount of work to do tonight and am having trouble maintaining concentration and enthusiasm. Just popped over for a quick visit!Bernicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594285545901719716noreply@blogger.com
