A small Friday Finish

Another week of work has seen me kept out of the sewing room again. I did manage a quick project this week though! We are off to the Barossa tomorrow to continue with our house renovations. While we are there, I am going to meet up with a fellow blogger who I have been in email contact with over the last few months. I wanted to make her a small gift to thank her for all her advice and support.

I needed something quick and not too complicated so I had a quick flick through the Zakka style book and came upon the Delightful linen bag - perfect!

I went with the general instructions in the book, but went with the sizing from Fiona from Finding Fifth's tutorial so that the bag would be big enough for a Kindle or Ipad. Oh and I didn't have any linen, so went with some grey homespun.

I embellished on the front with some bunting and on the back with some vintage doilies held in place with sunshine yellow thread.

The lining is a Denyse Schmidt print with blue and green tones.

and to finish off....a vintage button from my button jar and a loop of sewing tape that had come via Kristy at Quietplay!

I am really pleased with how this turned out...just hope that my bloggy friend likes it too!
