My sister loves sushi. We always have sushi when we want to treat ourselves to something special - so naturally Miss V has been used to sushi being something really extraordinary and she has always associated sushi with my sister.
So when I said the sewing project of the day would be making a reusable grocery bag for Aunt J, the only fabric that would do was the sushi print!
I used a plastic grocery bag as my pattern, so it's a good size and my sister should be able to get some good use out of this.
The lining was also chosen by Miss V, I had intended to use this print for binding for a future project...but since that is a still-unknown-future-project it didn't seem to make much sense to make that argument with the very happy V.
This bag folds up very small, and will definately fit into most shoulderbags :)
I think it turned out pretty nice!
I have made a few of these already, my favourite one has gone missing, so I made a new one for myself too. By the time it was done it was too dark to get a decent picture, so you'll have to see that in my next post :)
I really love this bag! Is it hard to put together?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that sushi print fabric, though that would be the only way I'd enjoy sushi.
ReplyDeleteYour sister will be so happy with her new bag! I have never seen sushi fabric before - how funny! You and Miss V are excellent fabric shoppers.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric, love the bag. Have your thought of doing a Tutorial for it???
ReplyDeleteKeep up the wonderful work, I just love your blog.
Yes, please. How did you make it? It it sooooo cute! And I could use of few of those myself. I hate having to use those ugly bags they sell at the store. But I could see me using those, if I had some. Were they hard to do?
