Joint Effort Bag - The Abby Bag

This is the Abby Bag which I have made several of but this one is a special one because it's a joint effort by me and my daughter. She's studying Fashion and Textile Design at university and has been learning weaving on a loom. The woven panel in the center of the bag is her own design and work. I just love the colours. The bag is my work. It's so nice that we have a common interest.




This last photo is the inside of the bag. It's reversible. This side I made with a velvet upholstery fabric in brown.
Sorry I don't have a link for the bag but it's by Vanessa Christenson of V and Co.

I've just finished testing a bag for Christine at

 http://blog.chriswdesigns.com/

It's a drawstring bag in two sizes and can also be made in pleather as a handbag. I'm going to try that one out tonight.
Here's mine, if you go to her link above you will be able to get a sneak peek of her bags and also the size and description of each one. I was going to use mine as a make up and accessories bag but my daughter liked it so it's now hers.



As you can see there's loads of room inside for everything to be kept tidy and organized.
Great bag. Thanks Chris
