In between commissions and sewing for the grandchildren, I have managed to get a few bags done this autumn.
I drew a mosaic leaf pattern which I appliqued using a variety of cotton fabrics, plus a few bits of gold lamé scattered in between.
Then I quilted a few leafs on each side and did some ecco quilting around each leaf.
The main fabrics are linen and linen blends.
The green bags have appliqued mosaic leafs on both sides, while the neutral coloured one has one applique leaf, and only a quilted pattern on the other side.
I also made a couple of purple bags similar to this one using my fabric prints. The original bag was made from silk noile, but the ones above have linen blends as the main fabric.
Both bags have one square and one oval fabric print motif. The square fabric print motif is the same on both bags…
… while the oval fabric prints on the other side are different on the two bags.
All the bags have a lining with pockets and a zippered pocket.
These bags will be for sale.

very pretty. Love the bag especially with the leaf designs on it.
Thank you, Angie 🙂
Lovely bags, I really like the boathut fabric, a great way to use it! Xxx
Thank you, Benta. I love those boathuts too, – I can actually see them from our house.
Each one of these bags is incredibly beautiful Eldrid. You are a very talented artist!
Thank you for coming and visiting BuzzinBumble. I replied to your sweet comment right on my blog, because it listed you as a “no-reply commenter” I’m glad I can find you on your blog though.
Thank you again, Lara. I enjoyed visiting your blog, and especially seeing your awesome miniature.
I am not sure know how this reply or no-reply thing works on the different blog platforms, – probably something I have checked or un-checked somewhere.
Anyway, thanks again 🙂
