Bags for my Mum in law

Hiya! Here's a cross body bag and a little purse I made for my Mum in law. She chose the fabric, and I was a bit worried about fitting the seagulls in without decapitating them, but I'm pleased with how they've turned out :)

Here's the bag. It's the Two Zip Hipster pattern, from Dog Under My Desk.

Here's the purse I made to go with it. It's the  Lori Pouch pattern, by Lorelei Jayne:

I've definitely caught the sewing bug! Bit obsessed...

Seagulls Beach Bag

Hi! So my bag-making obsession is still going strong, although this one took me 2 days and lots of headaches and confusion!

It's got a zip pocket on the front and one inside, and elasticated pockets on each side, roomy enough for bottles of water.

It's the Debbie Shore large tote, tutorial here :)

Lots of things went a bit wrong, especially when I accidentally melted some of the fusible fleece when trying to press the inside pocket - nearly cried at that point! And there are some very wonky seams in places, and the front zip pocket isn't quite straight... but I'm choosing to believe that these things gives it a rustic charm! It's also only my second attempt at a 'proper' bag, so I'm really pleased with it!

I had a little helper while making this one, too!
