I've made shopping bags in the past, but not proper handbags. I was rummaging through some material and found a piece of canvas and a lovely piece of broiderie anglais (I'm sure that's spelt incorrectly). When I put one against the other it just looked right and there was enough to make a small bag. I was so pleased I then made the tweed one above it.
They are both lined in a dark brown striped fabric, the tweed one has been sold at market, and I have an order to make a similar one. Unfortunately I only had enough of that particular tweed fabric to make one bag. But I've got plenty more of similar tweed, so watch this space for more bags.
Even more amazing is the fact that my windows are relatively clean!
