Raid your scrap stash & create an awesome bag in minutes!
Anyone who’s ever reconstructed a garment knows the importance of hoarding...erm...neatly storing the excess bits & pieces for possible future use - even if those around you think you’re completely nuts for holding onto that tiny scrap of gorgeous vintage silk or that broken zipper pull, you know, eventually, inspiration will strike & it’ll be just the thing you’ve been looking for to finish (or begin) a project…
Any theories as to which lovely leftover I unearthed to create the nifty little bag above?
Root around your own stash & create your own:
