Bags

These are some of the childrens  bags I made recently for the Auckland Art & Craft Fair this coming July.....

This one is from a lovely pair of jeans my eldest daughter had, but too many holes in the knees, so I took the legs & made two bags (she kept the top & made shorts!)  I love that they are frayed, and because they were bootlegs, it has that lovely shape to it :-)

This was born from a tragedy - A lovely pair of Osh Kosh trousers, too much rough & tumble on the school playground, one very large rip later & hey presto...two new bags!






And here they are...hanging in the sun outside my cottage last weekend for their first photo shoot....
