another handy DIY bag

finally it was the weekend... i had sometime to make good use of the bits and pieces of fabric salvaged from my cushion making session...
i had strips upon strips of hard wearing upholstery fabric...
first i made use of the collection of the shorter strip...
i wanted to make a bag for me:
1) easy to carry, can be carried as shoulder bag or off the shoulder handbag or hand held handbag
2) place to secure my key/ mobile chain
3) secure compartment for my $ & little bits and bolts
so i made this!

worn as a shoulder bag...
inside there is a ompartment (secured by zip) for my wallet etc etc
velcro fastening for bag opening - easy to pen and close and things won't fall out...

"ring" on the side to secure bag strap - which can be single (messenger bag look), doubled (for off the shoudler handbag look) or tripled (for handheld look)


the flower brooches were made with scraps of material left over from bag making... yep, reclyed-recyled fabric...

they can be attached anywhere to accessorize the bag...
it's cuteness have received some positive comments already from on lookers...
still thinking of a name to call it though...
