Labour of love
May 17, 2025This bag was a joy to make. Joyce, one of my choir friends, is getting married very soon. Her wedding dress was too long and she entrusted me with the cut offs to make her a bag for the big day!
I wanted to keep the original hem to elude to it's origins. I also added embroidery in blush, one of her wedding colours. Hopefully she will collect many memories of the big day in it!
