A bag specially made for my good friend, iL.
Last time we met I saw her still using the fabric bag I made her years ago but it's wore out. Happy that she used it till wore out, that means she liked it. Making a bag takes me time. In the market one can buy the mass production at very cheap price. I gave some friends my handmade bags but I know some may not have put to use. They may not know how much effort I've put on making OOAK. Now I will only give to someone who really appreciates my work.
The bag I made with the sample prints of pines and euc on "boiled wool".
I made use of the strips to put on the fabric bag, that's the theme.
Yellow to golden euc I picked in the train station and dark prints of pines I picked in my mother's area.
I sewed the bag with the fabric leftover of last projects. It's a mid-night.
The bag is double-layer with inner pocket. Straps are long enough to put on shoulder. Bag size is just a A4 fit with box base.
