yesterday's embroidered stems turned into a bag.
lined and pocketed, with a hair "scunci" for closure.
new and vintage buttons and an old pair of jeans.
now, what's for lunch?

'Tis the gift to be simple,
'Tis the gift to be free,
'Tis the gift to come down
where we ought to be,
And when we find ourselves
in the place just right
'Twill be in the valley
of love and delight.

Lovely! And in great contrast to the new 5" outside. For lunch, over here, homemade pasta (fazzoletti) a la Mark Bittman.

I probably have some jeans that could go into your pile... they aren't even fit for camp anymore :(
ReplyDeleteMmmmm lunch! That's a sweet little bag:)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Karen!! Reminds me of the wall hanging you made me with vintage buttons! Great idea for the closure!
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin' the orange in the lining - must be January!
ReplyDeletethe bag is even better "in person"...i get so inspired by your creations...thanks for sharing..tqoe
ReplyDeletelove the orange lining...
Love it, very stylish. and I also use those hair things for closure. I have them in many, many colors, easy and cheap....
ReplyDeleteVintage buttons are a favorite of mine and I love the little flower garden you created with them. The color orange is becoming another favorite.... good choice on the lining!
ReplyDeleteyour bag is so adorable, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. Is there a pattern for this bag?
ReplyDeleteRaina,
DeleteThanks for stopping by. I made this bag from scratch, with no pattern. If you are a clever sewist I'll bet you could devise a very similar one. :-)
