Bid on this bag by leaving your name and a bid in the comments section. Bidding starts at $25 and increases by whole $s please. Highest bidder at 9pm (PST) / 10pm (MST) on Saturday, January 31st gets the BAG! Postage extra. I found a book that suits just perfectly this week called The Secret Life of Bees. One of the fabrics has a golden bee pattern on it. It’s on my dining room chairs and one of my grandkids said “Why would you want to sit on bees?”
What fun I had putting together all these gorgeous fabrics! I used my remnants and almost all new high end donated fabrics. The only recycled piece is a beautifully embroidered section from an antique tablecloth that I used on the inside pocket. The colors are soft greens, gold and off-white. The main fabric is a soft green embroidered ultra suede remnant.
To change thing up I made a knotless strap measuring 48 inches and used the coordinating fabrics from the bag.
The front flap is a polka dot chenille designed fabric trimmed with gold bumble bees buzzing across the bottom with the edge being gold ultra suede and gold braid trim. The handy cell pocket matches the flap in fabric and trim.
The front of the bag has a large double pocket topped with the reverse of the bee fabric. I made a self fabric button to secure the pocket. The back also has a double pocket trimmed with braid and more bees!
Inside the coordinating check fabric added a nice accent. The large double pocket can hold lots of your treasures and the gold flowers will cheer you up whenever you open your bag. I marched the bees all around the sides and bottom of the lining.
