Ladies Little Bag - Nature Inspired

[Sherkhan1962]

Hi all,

Just a very quick visit on LW, being quite busy at the moment with my saddler's clamps making, what keeps me far from internet (my workshop is in the middle of nowhere). This morning I finished a little bag made for my partner. She spends a lot of time in the garden, as fond of growing things as Hobbits are (according to Tolkien), what explains the style I gave to it. It is fully lined with suedine and fully hand sewn. Beads are Tiger Eye, which I grinded to flatten one side to stick well on the flap. Braided cord comes from http://www.cordsandwires.eu/ where you can find some interesting stuff. More photos are gathered in a zip file that can be downloaded from this link:

If I can find the time for that during summer I'll prepare a "how to" illustrated and commented document with the patterns for those interested - just let me know. This bag measures roughly 220mm x 180mm x 50mm, big enough for a wallet, keys, phone, and other little things ladies usually have in their bag.

I'll be back...
