Hurrah for making stuff!

Well, it's been ages since I've posted as work has been manic and I've not really been near a computer. But thankfully the business at work hasn't impeded my attempts at being crafty!
One of the things I'm really pleased with is a bag that I made, having been inspired by some patterns on the net.

I used some fabric that my Aunt very kindly bought me for my birthday, at the craft fair here in Brighton, and I used fabric from a retro duvet cover (charity-shop find) for the lining and applique Cedarlily bird. With some finishing button touches, it all came together and I love it!
