A few months ago I bought myself a new hand bag. It was faux leather, with enough space for most of my knitting projects and pockets that could hold smaller projects/books/needle rolls.
It fell apart in a few short weeks and I was left with only my flowery knitting bags or a purple cord bag that’s going bald. I spent a few days going through ebay/high street shops/Trafford Centre.
Couldn’t find anything close to what I wanted.
So in the end I thought I venture into sewing again. I took apart the bag I was replacing, made a pattern and strode forth with mum’s old Singer 6136 at my side.
I started it a week or so ago. Now its ready to be abused in public.
Love the bag, glad Mum’s machine is still working! It’ll take leather and heavy denim too.
