Bags gifted to Grandma....

We had a family Christmas lunch a couple of weeks ago, so I took the opportunity to give Grandma her new shopping bags (since the last ones were stolen, along with her scooter..).

They were put to good use when she left, carrying all her other Chrissy pressies... I'd call that a success!!!

(apologies for the quality of the shot - the lighting was terrible!!)

Second bag done.....

Basically, same as first with different fabric pockets...

Although the base fabric looks quite yellow in the pictures, it's actually more green in real life......

One down....

My grandmother recently had her scooter stolen with the shopping bags I made for her in it, so for Christmas I thought this I would replace them with all new ones.

So far, one done, the other cut out and ready to go!! You will recognize the pocket fabric as leftovers from the aprons - waste not, want not!!

Since I miscalculate the aprons I ended up with a whole binding strip leftover. I used this for the handles and pieced the bigger leftover bits to make 2 pieces big enough for pockets. With that fabric you can hardly even tell!! Same style pocket on both sides.....
