Description

I had lots of shopper bags from my brothers old printing business...I have lots of buttons...And a pet hate of seeing people with the same bags/clothes(etc) as me...!

Instructions

  1. Small img 20130104 03433

    Choose the buttons, I went for a PINK theme!

  2. Small img 20130104 03438

    Get your bag laid out flat and draw lightly your shape. This acted as a guide for my sewing - I didn't have the confidence to sew them free hand.

  3. Small img 20130104 03434

    I chose a light pink thread to contrast the darker pink buttons...

    Plus another 2 on the bottom of the handles to carry the pink theme on.
