On Monday, I promised to show you the lovely bag my husband made with the leftover fabric from my cushion covers. I've been moaning for ages that you can't get hard-wearing but lovely tote bags that can take my work folders, but I will moan no more (well, maybe a little... I'm sure I can find something else to moan about! I'm very talented like that.).
It's a nice big size so it will easily fit a few binders in and my notebooks and things, with strong comfy straps. I've already had a number of compliments about it!
Today's cat picture is a box-loving feline enjoying some quality time with his/her cardboard:
Thanks so much for visiting,
What a gorgeous bag-You lucky ducky !! I think your hubby should think about starting a sewing and craft blog :) clever man !! x
ReplyDeleteThat man is a gem! Love the bag!!
ReplyDeleteWow that is one talented hubby, love that bag and can see why you are getting so many compliments too. Hugs, Amanda x
ReplyDeleteI suspect your hubby will be getting orders as well as compliments for this as it is just perfect. Where did the material come from? Hugs, Buttons x
ReplyDeleteHi Victoria
ReplyDeleteNot sure which I like the best now as your tote bag is just as yummy as the cushions! How lucky you are!
If hubby isn't careful he will be getting orders! LOL!!
Hope your week is going well.
Love Jules xx

It's a fabulous fabric, isn't it, what a talented guy (I can't sew at all, which is probably why I'm so impressed!)
ReplyDeleteYou have a very talented hubby Victoria, does he give lessons??? Your books will be safe now :)

Fabulous tote bag and I love the fabric! What is it about cats and boxes? It seems they simply MUST take control of any space large enough for them to wedge themselves. lol
ReplyDeleteOoh this is fabulous, your hubby should definitely sell some of these! Hugs, Lisa x
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised you've had compliments... it's gorgeous! There's a business opportunity here I'd say - what a useful husband!

That lovely lace that you admired on my card... Well its called Victoria its from Stampin'up.. Had to come tell you, you will have to get some and use it now, after all it is named just for you. I can see me getting the hang of the stamp-a ma-jig its just I need some practice, .. Sandy :)
ReplyDeleteThis fabric is beyond being gorgeous! Bet the cushions are wowzers too. But this bag....and your DH made it????!!!!Does he do this kind of thing as his vocation? Or is it a hobby???Whatever...this is one VERY impressive bag. And you give him a BIG, BIG hug for making it for you. Tell him all your bloggers are so envious...:-) TFS
ReplyDeleteNow that is a man bag with a difference!! Very nice indeed, that fabric is lush :D His handles are good too, long enough to put over your shoulder. It's amazing how few bags do that. Move over Cath Kidston...the bag makers of GB are fighting back against your overpriced, shoddily made goods!!!
ReplyDeleteYour hubby sure is a talented man Victoria, that fabric is gorgeous.
