This week at Contemporary Quilters we were experimenting with old scraps to see if we could make a quilt from them. As usual I wasn't doing quite what I was supposed to be doing! I came across a waistcoat in the scrap pile. The shape made me think of a shoulder bag so I cut the back off and used the 2 side panels to make the bag modelled by my daughter above. One side is held together by the original buttons whilst the other is knotted fringes. Only the bottom section is sewn. I trapped some silk scraps in the bottom seam to make the fringe.
I did also start some scrap quilts, more to come on those soon.
Looking good! Oh...and the bag by the way. :)
