Well, actually, it started with another bag I was making for a friend of a friend, for a Christmas Present. I was so impressed with the new bag I'd made, that I started dreaming of a new one for me. My current bag has flannellete panels, which is very Wintery . . . well, that's what I told myself for justification!
I have been hoarding these old worn out boots from a couple of seasons ago. I loved them dearly, so tucked them away in the cupboard thinking that surely I could make something out of them one day.
The day arrived this week. I had a rush of inspiration and some new Liberty fabric that I couldn't resist. I will post another picture of the finished product. A few nights in the making and my Summer Edition Handbag will be complete.
This is just a little taste of the other bag, just in case any sneaky peaky eyes are looking!!!
. . . and I'm still madly obsessed with my birds. Just fascinating to watch
Dear Annie ~ Your joy in creating is inspiring me to pick up needle and thread again.

A girl just can't have too many bags now can she!
ReplyDeleteLoving those cute little birds.
Have a very Merry Christmas Annie.
Catch you later, Susan :D) xx
I never thought of recycling a pair of boots into a bag. I can't wait to see the final product! How beautiful are those baby birds!
ReplyDeleteGood grief is there anything you won't sew into a bag. Love the idea. Well done. Those baby birds remind me of meal time here....lol.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a clever girl. I can't believe you turned old favourite boots into a bag! They are both gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteA great idea, never thought to recycle boots like that... can't wait to see the finished product. The baby birds in all your recent posts are just adorable!
ReplyDeleteClever Annie! The bits of bags really look good, and I love seeing the birds, too.
ReplyDeleteLoving the boot bag
ReplyDeleteAnnie, you are so ingenious! I would have never thought of saving old boots.
