I spent Saturday at my local embroiderers guild (and most of yesterday) putting this bag together. Quite a change for me to cut out something like this from scratch. I found it really challenging trying to cut out the pieces accurately just using a cutting mat, rotary cutter and ruler. Anyway, the result's good and I've got a really useful bag. Anyone who's interested the pattern can be bought here. The colours are slightly too bright and it's really a more mellow, autumnal colour than this.

Oh lucky you having a Guild to attend - and its gorgeous - and is a fabulous combination of colours
Carol, it's beautiful. Looks like it will hold lots. :o)
Well you rose to the challenge and whipped it into shape! Beautiful bag...I love the shape...would like to see one with your stampwork on too! x:)
That is one handsome bag Carol - and it looks very well made. It's practical as well as lovely to look at. I've never mastered cutting with a rotary cutter and am hopeless at being accurate.
Beautiful and useful too. It's lovely.
Carol it looks fabulous.
WOW! Its fab! Looks really intricate in terms of the cut - but really useful, love the pockets. Great work Carol xxx

I love it, specially the pockets, and the gorgeous material.

How lovely! It's great to do something a bit different 'Dot'! Lol! xx
Looks great and useful too :) Is it a lovely rust and butterscotch type combo? Looks like it - great choice of colours, whatever. Did you make it by hand or by machine? Too many questions, lol?
Great bag, love the colours. xxx
