Another couple of bags made with some aqua fabric from the Flower Sugar III collection, and a pattern by the Norwegian designer AnnAKa, called "Anna's Sminkepung". I've used fabric from the same range for the lining too. These little bags are great for using up smaller pieces of fabric and trimmings... ...I really like this aqua and pink together, trimmed with some white lace. I've been busy over the weekend making tote bags too, so I'll share some more pictures later in the week of those. For those of you who have been contacting me about the pattern, I bought my copy a few years ago, from a Swedish online store, Lapp-Elisa - the link will take you to the "English" page on the website, and you can pay with Euros! The instructions for the pattern are in Norwegian, but the diagrams are very good!

The new bags are lovely. I stumbled across your blog the other day. I am teaching a friend to sew, and bags are what she decided to start with. I am sending her a link to your blog so that she can see what can be done with different fabric and embellishment combinations. I have laces and lingerie findings that belonged to my beloved, late mother-in-law. Now I know what I am going to do with them. Thank you so much for the blog and the inspiration I intend to read it regularly!
