Pied de poule

Finished a bag by up cycling an old jacket:

Front and closure

Back with zippered pocket

Inside with 2 slip pockets

Golf bag

Today I finished Pauline's third commission this spring.

Her brief was as follows: colourful, small, one front pocket for her mobile with easy access, one zippered pocket for her money and on the inside enough space for tissues etc. and a water bottle with something to keep it upright. She wants to take it to the golf course so that she can still have everything she needs with her.

We choose the fabrics together and the main fabric is a pair of my upcycled trousers and is a beautiful 100% linen turquoise colour. The lining is 100% cotton and the contrast colour is bright orange. The mobile pocket closes with a velcro dot for quick access.

It turned out to be a beautiful small bag!

Recycling

Finished Pauline's bag today. The red fabric came from one of her old coats which she asked me to combine with two colours of grey and make into a bag. She wanted the same pattern as her previous bag.

On one of the side pockets I have sewn a button, which also came from her coat. There is no button on the other side, so that she knows that the pocket with the button contains her mobile! The yarn for the tassel, which is attached to the zipper, also came from her coat.
