Yesterday was Mothers Day and naturally a good opportunity to send my mother a little something! A friend suggested a shopping bag and it seemed like the very thing so I dived into my stash to find some mum friendly fabric.
And there I hit a slight snag, as I didn't have a single piece big enough in colours my mum likes (we have very different colour preferences). So I made a patchwork creation!
I embroidered the patch on a scrap of green linen. The brighter red is faux wool, the darker red is cotton drill. The plaid is a soft brushed cotton and the handles are also cotton.
The back has a smidge of yellow at the top, mostly to be different to the front! The dimensions are loosely based on a reusable shopping bag I already own and love.
It's lined with a slightly different yellow cotton and red cotton. I'm pleased to report that Mum likes it and has decided it will be a work bag as she doesn't want to spoil it by carrying shopping in it.
