Barcelona Bag

I made this bag mainly to use as my hand luggage for my holidays in Barcelona with my boyfriend Sean. I love the fabric on this bag especially the orangey, green patterned upholstery fabric from an old sofa my mum had. Along with other fabrics I got from Libertys in London and some patchwork fabric from Mandors in Glasgow (this screamed patchwork me together!). My first attempt at patch-working fabrics together for a bag. It was quite hard trying to understand how to patch them together. Next time will sew them more strategically together. I love this bag, it makes me feel like I am in another country by just looking at it.

Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining

Every Cloud has a silver lining. I find the front of this purse fascinating and it definitely reminds me of purpley blue storm clouds crashing together in the sky forming a strong bold contrast. Even though it can be quite depressing when it is raining and stormy; there is that moment when the clouds boom together giving you that feeling of excitement and for the fortunate people who are inside during that moment a satisfaction of warmth of contentment which is portrayed in the raffia and the silver threads henceforth; Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining. The Rain will soon stop. The clouds will soon move. And there soon will be a ray of sunshine at some point.
