I've been inspired by all your makes, so this weekend I made myself a bag. The outside is a skirt which someone gave me, and the binding round the edge is from another skirt which was given to me. The lining is an old curtain lining which someone else gave me. The only things I had to buy were the cord for inside the binding and the magnetic closure. I already had the interfacing and the wadding.





My eldest dd likes it so much I've given it to her :rotfl: I'm going to make myself another one from my stash. I might make the handles a bit longer too this time.

it must be me - WHERE are the labels I cant see them?

it is a lovely bag.

Justamum - can I ask where you got your labels please?

I made this yesterday it is called a Charlie bag and is reversible.



definitely needs some interfacing or thicker material, not sure if I like it as quite flimsy.

I can't remember exactly which website. It's just one of those where you get labels for sewing into school clothes. I got them about a year ago so I'll have a check through my records tomorrow and see if I can find the name of the company. There's plenty if you google though - you can get 36 for about a tenner (more elaborate ones are more expensive). You could try this site http://www.wovenlabelsuk.com/School-Labels.html?gclid=CPeXlP_k-KMCFd392Aodr0-rJg it could be the one - it sort of looks familiar :rotfl::o
