Finished the bag for Mum - all nice and padded with wadding and with a magnetic snap closure. Made from some Anna Maria Horner fabric plus a lining of calico out of my bolt for making up toiles/mock ups.
I like the patterned inside pocket against the plain calico lining and the shape of the bag. The strap is padded with wadding to and I attached two decorative buttons to the strap ends which I covered myself in the patterned fabric. I got a big bag of self covering buttons and backs from Dewsbury for just £1.
Finished the pincushion caddy to - now I see why I should have gone back and inserted the interfacing on the innertube which I'd forgotten and perhaps been a bit more precise attaching the inner tube to the ball. But it does the job. I'll make a better go of it if I make another one.
