This pretty and versatile bag has been hand appliqued and embroidered with a cluster of three white flowers inspired by Australian native flannel flowers (although real flannel flowers have green centres, not blue!). The appliqued pieces are cut from scraps from some of my other projects.
The bag itself has been made from a powder blue upholstery fabric. The side panels, base and straps are from a bright blue denim pair of jeans.
The lining is white fabric with pretty pink flower clusters that began life as a pair of pyjama pants. The bag has a zip closure and internal slip pockets on both inside walls.
Because it is made of fabric, it is very light to carry, and I have added some stiffening to the base so it doesn't sag when you fill it. This is such a great size for an everyday bag, and is very easy to use. It has a long, adjustable strap so you can make it whatever length is most comfortable for you. The bag hardware is silver coloured.
Size: 32cm across the bottom, 20cm high, and approximately 10cm deep front to back at the bottom.
This is a version of the Baker Street Bag, designed by Sara Lawson of Sew Sweetness.
