This top I bought for Shark at a jumble, 50p. She looked between it, and me, and felt guilty enough at the sight of my hopeful fizzog to wear it. Once. After that she declared it did not fit. I waxed lyrical about the embroidered neckline for a few days, then gave in. You can see where I've sewn up the neckline on that bottom pic. It looks a bit vaginal, which I'm sorry about, because the rest of the bag turned out fun.
Once I made the basic bag shape, we sewed on these beautiful touchy-feely shapes from an African-animal inspired upholstery fabric range; the sample book for that I found in Scrapstore. The bag is great to hold and feel, and it has a rather useful pocket I cut from a pair of Maine jeans (50p RSPCA shop).
I tried to wear those jeans, I really did. They looked foul. The zip didn't work. I held it up with a bit of metal attached to an elastic band hooked to my belt. You can bet I looked like Kate Moss. With string.
I might not give this bag away for a while. I like it.
