Flower bags

I finished these off yesterday, though some had been completed before the Bromham show, and sold before I took photos of them!

These were easy bags to make.  I used strips of denim - for each bag I had three 2" strips, two 3" strips and one 6" strip.  First I sewed the 2" and 3" strips together, alternating the widths.  After pressing and trimming the ends (mine were all different lengths) I added half of the 6" strip to each short end of the joined piece.
I made straps, in my usual style, from 4" strips of denim, pressed in half and edges pressed to the middle, then pressed in half again and sewed.  I cut linings to match the size of each finished bag and sewed them to the short edges.  I folded the long strip in half then sewed down the long sides of the bag, leaving the short edge of the lining open for turning.
I can't give a tutorial for these flowers as the design is one I was given on a course, but there are plenty of similar ones online.
Satisfying bags, and good sellers too!
