Cherry Cherry!

hi to you, this cool queensland afternoon...
with stormy clouds hovering and the ground wet still from the night rain!

after making jeni's little drawstring bag last week,
i really wanted to make another one
'cos they're just so cute,
easy to make
&
useful.

i have made a layered frilly apron out of this fabric
and found some leftovers
so thought a bag would be just the thing...




this time i made the drawstrings out of fabric
as per the pattern
&
thought a lining of red and white polka dots
would look the bees knees...



thanks jeni!

the link above will take you to jeni's lined drawstring bag tutorial...
&
while you're there check out her other makes,
she is phenomenal.

i'm joining up with 'ourcreativespaces' today too...
thanks kootoyoo.


see you 'round...like a red rubber ball..hehe!


naturally Carol xox


p.s...did you know that the 2012 colour of the year is about this colour?

    Another lovely bag! I bookmarked the tutorial after your previous post on these gorgeous bags. Where do you generally get your fabrics from Carol? Those cushions in your etsy shop are made from the most divine fabrics :-)
