Bags and a Quilters Keepsake Journal.

Image
Here are some things I am about to put in my Etsy Shop. ( I couldn't quite figure out have to go to paypal direct.) I like to recycle and these little bags make perfect use of a Dinner jacket. This one is made from one front lapel, it has a spotty interior and two black handles. The second one is made from a sleeve with a button to close inside. I have just finished a Quilters Keepsake Journal, it measures approx 6.5"X 7.5" Here's the front cover with the Quilter sitting with her quilting by the fire. A pocket for her quilt labels and some quilting folklaw. A pocket with some ribbon and lace. And lastly a pocket for her notebook and a needlecase. This is the back cover. I hope you like these bits and pieces, if you do pop over to my Etsy shop and take a peek. I'm back to the making, I love it!! Hugs, Angela.x
