I've been fabric-shopping.....by Stephanie

Last week I visited one of my favourite fabric shops, The Shipley Shuttle. It was love at first sight for this gorgeous cotton - I adore pink and yellow/orange together!

I spent some of yesterday making this large tote bag and I lined it with yellow.

I cut out a couple of the flowers from the fabric and backed them with interfacing and felt.

I sewed them to some ribbon ( a perfect match for the spotty elephant ears! ) and tied the adornment around one of the bag's handles.

I had enough fabric left over for a purse...

A lovely way to spend some of my lazy Bank Holiday weekend.
