Slouchy Hobo Bag
As you can see, I’m still making flowers and still loving it. This time I’ve moved from headbands to handbag.
This is my new holiday handbag. I made it using a free pattern – Hot Patterns Slouchy Hobo. It’s made using a very stiff denim (leftover from my (lego bags) and a piece of blue/turquoise florally fabric picked up at an op shop for about 50c. I love it when I make something from scraps or cheap finds. I get a strangely smug feeling that I’ve scored something for free.

This is a very roomy bag destined for a holiday overflowing with hats, suncream, drink bottles, snacks, nappies and a trillion other things.

fabulous bag and loving those flowers..
ReplyDeleteThat looks fabulous! Those flowers look like a lot of work. You'll love having such a roomy bag. I'll be waiting to hear which shape bag you prefer...this one or your Amy Butler one.
ReplyDeleteIt looks to me as though the stiffer fabric has worked beautifully! I love that this is called a hobo bag too. Pretty stylish hobo, I'd say :)
