Isn’t this the cutest bag ever? And I made it myself. I’m so happy with it. It took a bit longer to make than I thought it would, because my sewing skills are a bit rusty, but the result is great. I used an old table cloth with bold patterns (and stains that I cut around) that my mom found in a thrift store.
I made the pattern from a bag that I already have, but I changed the height of the bag considerably, so it looks quite different. I also made the bias tape myself, inspired by this post at Prudent Baby. I actually wanted to buy it ready-made but they didn’t have any colors that I liked, so I bought a little bias tape tool like this, and it was actually pretty easy. I’ll definitely do it again, I would love to do it with some patterned fabric.
I even made a little ‘zesti label for the bag with a handcarved stamp.
