I've been busy with bags all day, well, since I finished my homework that is! Yes I'm a swot and it''s all done. I'll read it through tomorrow, just to make sure it's all in English and I didn't become fluent in Swahili half way through.
So since late this morning I've made 5 bags, with varying degrees of success. These first two are not for Elaine, but one of them is a gift, the other will be mine.
I have to say I'm not at all impressed with my efforts on this creamy one, but there is still some of this fabric left and I intend to have another go tomorrow. (I'm sick of the thought of bags at the moment.)This little tartan book bag suits the cross stitch patch, well I think it does anyway.
And a sweet little grand daughter sized bag. The button serves no other purpose than to weight the flap and help it to stay closed.
If all else fails, I'll make a larger version of this tomorrow for Granny Elaine.
My scraps box is overflowing and I feel that it's time I did something about that. I have a huge piece of black fabric which would serve well as sashing fabric, if only I could find the right scrappy pattern. I'm off to find inspiration, then maybe I'll dig DD Kay out of her room to come and help.

Nice bags. I look forward to see what your scraps become. I've been playing with mine a bit lately.
You've done well to get the homework all done and out of the way. Now you can concentrate on more important things. I do love that cream fabric, I hope you find something you are happy with, but I do think you have done well
You're a machine. I get tired just looking at all the lovely things you make. Elaine should be delighted.
Wow, you've been rather busy!!! lots of bags, and all so different and cute! i don't mind they cream colored one...perhaps you just need a break from bags for the moment.
