bag continued

Found this tiny mouse (spitsmuis in Dutch) this morning on the footpath in the woods, I think it was pelted to death by the heavy rain last night; I woke up in the middle of the night: thunder & lightening and a curtain of rain, felt snug & safe in bed, like in a tent; I spoke to the boys this morning: we had all woken up at one time or another during this storm, fallen asleep again and woken up dry; this poor mouse wasn't that lucky.

so, this is what the bag looks like on the inside with a pocket sewn in, and now I'm thinking maybe I will add another layer and then double-fold the bag and the sides will look like a layering of fabric, which of course they are, I'm thinking that will look more interesting than a strip of fabric sewn onto back and front - if you get what I'm saying here....

But your stitching is wonderful.

Nancy: sad indeed, and yes a pocket is a must.
Grace: spitsmuis means mouse with a pointed/sharp nose, for obvious reasons; I so enjoyed stitching this bag and discovering more about stitching and what it does for a piece.
Dee: I've kept the poor creature, maybe the tiny skeleton will be here when we get back from the U.K.
The stitching itself was wonderful.
