Bucket bag for London

Well, the good news is that I can't believe how quickly this week is going and that its Thursday already tomorrow!

Over the weekend I finally got round to making a bag, and I used the  reversible bucket bag from Sewmamasew


It was a really easy pattern and I only made one short cut: I boxed the bottom, rather than making a seperate piece and I love how it has turned out.


I am ashamed to say that this was the first time I have ever made my own bias binding - and it was nowhere near as awful as I thought it would be!


My sister in law made me a fabric brooch a while back - it could have been made especially for this bag


I think this just might be the bag that I take to London in June!!

  2. Oh it looks great but will it be big enough for all the things you are going to buy?

  4. I absolutely ADORE that blue/white floral print. I'd like to know more about it! Cute bag, I used to make bags a lot (that's how I got started sewing) and I really should make myself a new purse, too. Jealous you get to go to London! (but hope you have a super great time, of course!)
