Two of my friends in South Africa are very keen on visiting game parks to see the wild animals. I've had some fabric in my stash for a couple of years and, with a trip to South Africa next month, thought this was a good time to get it out and use it!
The fabric is by Makower and there are two designs which are meant to be used as borders. I made two bags: this one is from a commercial pattern, Kwik Sew 3133, but I added some Thermolan as interfacing to give the bag a bit more body.
The second bag is a bit smaller:
Both bags have internal slip pockets trimmed with the outer fabric:
Each bag also has a matching zippered purse attached to a snap hook on a narrow strap:
Yesterday I went into Hobbycraft and found this fabric on the sale. I've made my grandson a pillow case as he loves road signs!
I know that many people would have been working in their gardens today as the weather has at last turned spring-like, but I like sewing and am pleased with what I have done in the last couple of days. I'll just have to get fresh air some other day!

Perfect fabric for your upcoming trip - I'm sure you're excited!

Thanks, Virna. Yes, the time is going by quickly and the countdown has begun: I have six more shifts to work before we leave but with a few days off to do a bit more sewing and last minute shopping and then packing. I also have to give the house a good clean as we have friends coming to stay here while we are away. Where does all the dust come from?!
DeleteBest wishes,
