Mrs Miller's New Bag


Even though it's Micheal Miller fabric I don't think he'd be carrying this little number around .

How much fun it was working with "proper" fabric . There was no agonising over the colour selections and all the testing and fiddling with different fabrics to see if they really go together .

I did not hassle one family member with the usual thrusting of bits of fabric into their faces demanding to know what they thought of the combination . Not once did I abruptly bolt from my chair at teatime and run from the room mumbling about maybe this colour might be better . I even sat in the loungeroom without fabric draped over the side of the chair to compare in different lights .

I sort of missed all that stuff though .......

I love my new bag it was fun to make and I think it's a great size . Not really sure whether it will become a pattern , what do you think ?

Happy Spring !

Nice work Clare. And I reckon Mr Miller would carry it but maybe underneath a big coat, so that only you and he knew it was there!

Beena said...

I think it's adorable and a great bag! And I wouldn't be at all surprised if M.Miller decided to tote one in this likeness around with him. Maybe you should send him one! LOL
