It's always the knees of denim jeans that wear out and after patching one time, enough is enough. I usually save the backs of the legs for future patches and sometimes the denim pile builds up so that I can make a bag ...... or two.
I made two bags before Christmas.
This first has a panel of appliqued red leaf shapes on the front, which I have embroidered. I sewed a flange of red and yellow striped fabric around the panel and used the same fabric for the long handle. The bag has a zip closure at the top, just like a pouch and a boxy bottom.
The back of the bag has a handy zipped pocket.This second bag is a tad more sedate and the panel has appliqued circles, a fabric insert and white hand stitching.Again, the back has a zipped pocket.These are links to two previous post about similar bags:-2 Sashiko Bags and More Sashiko - More Bags
Happy New Year to you all - 2021 must surely be better than 2020!!?? - Anita xx
