linen outer: free in a box of stuff from my aunty
floral lining: 20p for two 6ft x 4ft curtains at a jumble
buttons: free from mother in law, circa 1960s/early 70s aparently
pattern: based on a Wild Winger Wild Things tie-bag, but slightly changed using newspaper and a marker pen.
the strap is an over-body strap but has loads of hand done buton holes (couldnt find my buttonhole foot for the Jones machine... found now FFS) so that I can lengthen and shorten it.
even the clasp is lined ;)
the inner lining has two pockets in the central divider, one large one for my keys and one small one for my phone. 1. it makes my phone easy to find and 2. my keys dont get jumbled up in my crochet ;)
now, this one is made from some M+S faux suede trousers and an old Evans shirt. both bought second hand, both hardly worn. top made me look like a potato, trousers idnt fit my thighs.
I unpicked a bag I loved from university which had seen better days and used it as a pattern. I even re used the magnetic closure lol.
and finally this one was made for my sister in law. someone at hobbycraft reduced a massive chunk of pleather wrongly, so I got 1.5 x 1m cream pleather for 50p!!
lining is made form a tiny piece of upholstery fabric sent to me in a package of bits from an isher ;) handle is upholstery cord given to me by my aunty. the eyelets I had left over from another project.
