I actually posted this yesterday, only to find that it has somehow vanished into the ether and there is no trace of it ever existing. So I'll just have to do it again.
We had a lovely weekend with great company in a brilliant house. Lots of food, sleep, wine and chilling. Perfect!
The birthday girl like her bag too, and has used it all week so far. It's not perfect, but I learned a lot about matching fabrics and patterns, and it does showcase this gorgeous fabric really well.
The straps are not ideal - I didn't have time to get a slider, but I still wanted them to be adjustable. I came up with a compromise that works well - the strap can be set to 3 different lengths - but it's not as elegant as I would like. The inside has plenty deep pockets (as always), a padded mobile pocket (will do that again) and a key ribbon (again, as always). Overall it's a sturdy bag that will last for ages, so that's not bad :)
I've got about half a metre of fabric left, so I'm thinking that I might try something different - maybe along the lines of this Cath Kidston bag that I saw in John Lewis the other day.
What do you think?
