My Latest Handbag...Lattice

LATTICE

 

Sturdy handbag made from durable cotton materials. The bag is made from red damask furnishing fabric and is decorated with an overlay of strips of black and white mattress ticking woven into a lattice pattern. Diamonds on each side complete the effect

The bag is lined with red and white patterned cotton and  is closed with a plated silk loop and red button.

 Inside the bag there are ample pockets each side, one for your purse and the other for your mobile and a pen. Also a dog clip to keep your keys safe and to hand.

.... and still some room to put odd shopping, a book,  lunch or a scarf.

Two handles complete the bag.

My Latest Handbag Idea...Waterlilies

Waterlily Handbag

Waterlilies in Spain

My source material, not sure yet whether I will make a pink or white flower, or use matt or shiny fabrics. I want the leaves to overlap the bag shape and the flower 3D  if I can find a satisfactory way to make it!

Rough sketch for applique on bag

So now to find some material and make the pattern for the bag shape, then draw out the shapes for the applique.
