Red leatherette and polka dots

Have you ever tried out a new technique and wanted to do it again straight away because it looked so effective?

Well, I did! 

Bows.  I now have a thing about bows!

So I found some really soft, supple red leatherette and added a polka dot bow.

I lined the bag with a polka dot lining.

And made it slightly roomier by giving it more definition at the bottom.

With this much red it's sure to turn a few heads!

Bag out of leftovers!

I loved making this bag!  All hand sewn too!

The handles, bow, lining and interior pocket are made out of an old shirt, the outside fabric was once a skirt discovered in a charity shop and the brim of the bag was made out of an old pair of jeans!

I made the bow out of two pieces of material - I'll upload a 'how to' soon!  Simples!
