The outer is a wax print fabric I got at Ally Pally from the African Fabric Shop, the lining is a very old cotton pillow case which I dyed, and I made some pockets from an African batik print , also from the AFS.
I decided to make straps instead of using webbing, I'd forgotten how long it takes to turn them LOL.
Once I'd got the size and everything right I made a pattern and have cut out two more bags to be sewn tomorrow:
More African Batik for the outside, a random fabric in my stash for the lining and a Langa Lapu pocket.
The lining of the previous bag now used for the outer, with Langa Lapu lining and a Batik for the pocket.
I haven't done any sewing for ages, and I really enjoyed it. I'm planning to make some skirts and a dress now  |
Ther's a Ladybird on that bag isn't there?....you selling

That's lovely - What great material, I know it is pretty obvious to use fabrics when you think about it - but I was waiting to get some tea towels when I have some perfectly good material in my stash -duh!
