K had spent a couple of weeks in Japan with family, and had bought me an entire stash of fabric, and a box of little origami fabric, waiting to be made into buttons, brooches, etc. I was quite overcome! As all good bloggers, out came the camera. This amused K, as she is not familiar with the blogging thing (a blogger novice - must get her hooked!)
As a thank you, I have made a little bag out of the fabric, finished the inside seams with a Japanese binding technique, and put a HUGE vintage button on the front pleat as a little adornment. K's favourite colours are RED and GREEN, so I hope she likes it!!!!
I have broken two needles trying to finish the top seam (two denim needles.....) and so it remains pinned whilst I drum up the courage to complete it. I had hoped to send it last week but alas.... Still, I am very happy with it! I want to whip up another tomorrow for my Sister-In-Law's birthday on Wednesday!

That is gorgeous! Love the fabric...lucky you!
Stunning bag.
That is the best bag - love it!
Wow, what a lovely friend you have! And what a lovely friend you are too - that bag is just beautiful. The button on the front is really gorgeous too!!!!
What gorgeous gifts. I love the bag and the fabrics.
They are some lovely fabrics you scored and so nice of you to make her a bag. It's funny how non-bloggers are amused by our need to document isn't it ;)
