Snowed under this week so I don’t have time to blog. Off to meet a plane at 9am this morning. Hope you all have a lovely week.
A memorial shoulder bag. It started with a wee parcel from some one who’s hubby had died and she wanted a memorial bag using some bits and pieces from their life together . Butons from his work shirts and coats, a leather belt, some brackets that he gave her just little reminders and two of his ties. First I needed to find a woollen coat that would tie in with the yellow and orange tone ties. I finally found a lovely soft jacket that had been made in italy. I took the two fronts of the jacket and made a front and back of the bag to be see below.
Front of bag to be.
Back of bag to be.
Front of bag laid on top of back with back coming over as a flap to the front.
Close up of her initial A using his blue work shirt buttons and other tiny pieces.
Now I need to join the two ties and use them as the gusset and ties to make it in to a shoulder bag. I will show more next week if I fine time to work on it.
5.45am Off to join with Esther http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com/ i

Hi Sandra , thanks so much for dropping in. Yes it is a lovely idea, it has taken me a while to work out where and how to use the items Anne sent to me. I will show more of the bag next week hopefully if I’m able to work on it this week. Cheers Glenda
