...to when I was 10 or 11...sat in my bedroom...with some scraps of material...determined to make a set of luggage for my Sindy doll. Matching luggage. She was a chic girl who liked to travel in style. With a shoe collection to die for!
Hand sewn luggage too. No time to setting up my sewing machine...I was eager to get making.
As I said...scraps of material...and some thread were all I had. I had to be inventive.
So here goes...one of the bags I made. It's about 1 inch squared with a handle made with a piece of thread.
I guess even a skilled and experienced sewer has to start somewhere!
What it did though...is give me an appreciation for material. Beautiful...tactile...material.
No more geometric patterned nylon for me!
Until tomorrow,
Nic xx
