Bags of Memories

Toiletry bags galore!

March 23, 2024Although these small toiletry bags (or pencil cases) were already a tried and tested design these ones were made from material close to my heart. The outside material of the blue ones is a remnant from a sofa cover from years ago and the inside material is an old shirt. The shirts used to belong to friends husbands (thanks to Heidy and Arianne) and they were donated for my COVID quilt project that never materialised. Thankfully I could repay their husbands kindness my making their wives toiletry bags from their own husband's shirts. divisor
