Bags of character


Just before we all go off on our Summer holidays my sewing friends and I got together for a whole day of stitching, eating cake and of course, talking.  We were inspired to make these lovely little bags that we found in Hoop-la magazine designed by Hiromi Widerquist.

We backed some pretty patchwork fabric with fusible interfacing and using the pattern as a guide, worked simple running stitches.  The technique is a contemporary version of Japanese Sashiko used to embellish and strengthen fabric.  

Mine is the green bag (of course!) and it's perfect for holidays.
