So instead here’s a belated post about the other bag (the one I said I’d put up at the weekend – oops!).
As you can see, its much closer to the ‘design’ I had originally had in my head, but it morphed into a summer tote bag instead. I put a zipped pocket on the inside of the bag and it is has a lovely 'not to big, but not to small' dimension to it.
I have mixed feelings about this one though: loving the blue and pink panels on the linen, but I decided to use all three of the Indian cottons I bought, including the orange one in the middle. Now I'm not quite so keen. It feels like the orange in the middle was a step to far. Mr T approves though, so we are divided on opinion! Not that it matters much as I’m probably too lazy to take it out again, but what do you reckon?
Orange in the middle - love or loath?

Love the bag - and totally adore the orange!!
ReplyDeleteI vote for the orange too! Really pops out~thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeletep.s. also love the union jack bunting. I want to decorate for July 4th and plan on using pale blue and maybe pink because I like more faded colors.
I still vote yes on the orange. If you had made it pink, it would be too pink. And likewise the blue...
ReplyDeleteLove the bag! Is that linen too? I think I like the orange and aqua together on front! maybe pink in the middle
ReplyDeleteYes for me on the orange. Peps the whole thing up to another level. A really good level. Like the design too.
ReplyDeleteGreat bag and I love the orange!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI really like your bag! The blue & orange work well together I think... jury's still out on the orange with the pink. I would totally use your bag. I think it's cool.

Defo orange innards - totally rocking the colour blocking thing. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteRosalind yes it is linen too. I think that means I'll keep the orange! Glad you like it. It has yet to have its first outing but I'm looking forward to taking it out on a suitably hot sunny day! :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the bag so much! I bet it goes with everything! Orange isn't my color, i would have gone with Yellow :) I can't help it, ever since moving to the US orange reminds me of Prisoners Jumpsuits hahahha
ReplyDeleteHa thats hilarious Sarah. I'll never look at that shade of orange in the same way again. Glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteI love the bag! And I'd go with the orange too!
