Mojo...

....lost it there for a bit but i have just had a 'bag' moment!

Part of my 'crafting' problem is finding nice fabrics. I only really have the Singer shop or Dunelm in Bedford (that i know of) and i'm not impressed by their choice of fabric, and it's so expensive. There is John Lewis and Hobby Craft in Milton Keynes but that's 20 miles away, i've tried charity shops but no luck there and Internet shops tend to sell in fat quarters or yards and for the bags i've just made i need it in meters. If you have any ideas then please let me know.

Anyway, the bags.......

I cut a supermarket carrier bag to make a template and used it to make these...


I am rather pleased with the bags. I'd like to make some more but i can't find any nice fabric!

Good to 'see' you lady ;)
Loving the bags. To get the fabric you could convert the yards into meters and then just order that many yards? 1 yard is 0.91 meters.
