My Creative Space


There is not much crafting going on today (surprising as I brought myself a new sewing machine yesterday, yay!!!!) as I have had the dreaded lurgies and now that I am feeling better I desperately need to clean the house and buy groceries so that is my day all wrapped up. But I did manage to finish the bag a wrote about last week so am sharing the finished product.


It mostly went very smoothly, I found the instructions a little confusing, they seemed to be very convoluted, but I managed to muddle my way through. I added a zip to the pocket for a little extra security, this bag does not close so I wanted somewhere safeish to put my phone, wallet etc.

I did make it expandable, but I am a bit worried about the holes for the magnetic buttons fraying as they wear. One blog recommended using a sort of anti-fray glue called Fray Check but I don't think I have ever seen anything like that here is oz. Anyone know anything about this product?


I am pretty pleased with it in the end, though it is very much a summer bag so I am not sure how much action it will see over the next couple of months.

Lots more lovely creative people over at Kootoyoo.

  1. Its me again Susanne, nice bag. You've given me an idea about the magnetic buttons to use on a bag I made but doesn't close. Good idea Sarah. Thanks.
