Well, it seems that you like bags out there. So here is another one. I bought in a discount supermarket a cheap bag with an ugly synthetic lining and that is what I made of it. I got the idea from a japanese magazine and used some more of my dress, trousers, shirts fabrics and some japanese as well. Inside I used a Laura Ashley fabric and I put two pockets, one with a zipper. Unfortunately we don´t have any Laura Ashley shops anymore in Germany, maybe it is better for my credit card!
The bag is hand appliquéd and hand quilted.
Yesterday we had a wonderful meeting at our local guild. We were over 130 ladies and had a long and beautiful show and tell. Unfortunately I had forgotten my camera. As soon as someone else puts some pictures on the web, I will put a link. There were a lot of gorgeous bags as well!
Thank you for all the nice comments on my first bag, there are more bags to come. Did I tell you that I love making bags!?
Update:
Bea has put some pictures of the guild meeting on her blog. Thank you Bea!

What a great idea to use another bag as a base. I miss being able to buy Laura Ashley dress fabric - since they moved their manufacturing abroad you can't buy the dress fabric here. I do look out for old Laura Ashley dresses in charity shops though, and I cut them up for patchwork.
WOW! you're quite creative! I love it! Hum.... I've go some Amy Buttler fabric that would make a great bag. Trade you for a pair of sock! lol Keep well! Thanks for visiting my blog.
Deine beiden Taschen sind wirklich wunderschön.
Ich liebe es auch Taschen zu nähen, aber so tolle habe ich noch nicht hinbekommen. Allerdings stöbere ich auch immer gerne in meinen japanischen Magazinen, vielleicht lasse ich mich ja von Dir inspirieren.
Liebe Grüße

Just the thing for spring! It's wonderful!!
Ich liebe diese Tasche - aber das weißt du ja schon ... grins
How clever! I love decorating/planning a bag but the construction part always puts me off! I wish there had been quilt guilds in Germany when I lived there. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I love this bag!!! It's wonderful!
What a wonderful idea et quelle belle manière d'embellir un sac !
Great bags! Are there any more in the works?
Great bag. Was it Quilts Japan that you got some ideas from? They have fabulous stuff.

What a beautiful bag. I love making bags too! Thanks for visiting my blog and for the advice about the blue pen. I'll keep that in mind. TTFN
