Joyce-like SOLD

This bag should be called "Joyce", if anything, because it turned out rather in the style of some of her wonderful bags over at Bags4Darfur.



I saw some of these fabrics and remnants in the fabric boxes at my textiles class and knew they were destined to be made into a bag - and it emerged as a Joycean bag.




The front flap of the bag with its velvety cut out and appliqued flower design was a reclaimed part of a top...



and the grey fabric I found for the back looked a bit blank in comparison, so I had some fun decorating it...



Under the front flap theres a pocket



and there are little pockets for mobile phones, tickets etc.... on either side of the bag.

The strap fastens with vintage buttons, and is adjustable.







The lining also came from the fabrics and rag box at class, and was once part of a shirt - already well cut into and out of before I got to it. The original shirt pocket makes a little internal gathered pocket in the bag.




I don't know how Joyce manages to turn out her bags at such a rate (and hers have way more pockets and fancy/interesting bits than this one) - I respect her more than ever after making this one.
