Recycled Bags

Well I finally got my act together for something and made these two bags out of 4 napkins I bought from a car boot sale. Apologies for the images, they are not great, but with my motivation currently at a low I thought I better put them up now or otherwise it would be never.

I am really pleased with these actually and its ages since I made a bag. They are simple totes but I figure its better to start off simple and to achieve success than to aim too high and risk failure. I think they could work well reversible too, I have added buttons as a detail to the reversible pink side but I am not totally convinced they are right.

If you are reading this Susan, one of these has your name on it! Panda, if you are reading this I promise yours will be over to you very soon, I just have to find some suitable lining material for the quirky farmyard fabric.

Nice job max. I remember when you were little and I made you a fancy coat out of a recycled skirt! It actually looked really nice.
