It’s time to start on those bags!  I have fabric, I have patterns, I have craft books, I have bag-making supplies – so now I need to DO something instead of thinking about it!  I thought that these might be a good start:

both of which are from the Japanese bag book I posted about earlier.

I also received this book, also in Japanese:

As well as some fantastic mother/daughter clothes (maybe not to be worn at the same time in the same fabric though . . . ) it has yet more bag and accessory patterns. 

So hopefully by the end of the weekend I’ll be able to post pictures of the completed creations, rather than my vague ideas!
