| the blue linen strip is a
trouserleg, which is the base for the bag; it was a puzzle how best to use the leg and strange bird-quilt; I wanted to have several pockets, but then each pocket would be too thin and have to have a lining and what I wanted was to make a relatively simple bag. So in the end I decided it will be a single, lined pocket (if that makes sense) with the bird on the front and the sun-moon bit on the flap, so that meant cutting the quilt, and this way when closed the quilt is whole again; I can always add a pocket later on on the inside; I like the way the back has turned out with the band of trouser-blue in the middle; now all that remains is to stitch it all together. |
