Bag Giveaway!!!

I sewed these up late last night and finished them off this morning so that I could give something away in celebration of a year.
One fairly large shopping bag and a matching little zippy pouch.

Zippy pouch with strap and Vintage Metal zipper

The jeans zip I used for the zippy pouch is vintage, it was unused and still in it's cardboard wrapper.

I have lined them both in a newly purchased navy blue poplin and used a scrap of ricrac I had left over, but other than that they are vintage, vintage vintage!

I have no idea exactly how vintage this paisley fabric is. But at best guess I do recall in the 70's Mum had made 3 large cushions from it. The bag and pouch are made from the unused fabric left over from making those cushions. Mum made the cushions for the back seat of the ancient Holden which had blue vinyl seats. The seats got superheated in summer and I remember if your leg slipped off the edge of the cushion the vinyl seat burned!! Now I look at it I cannot imagine this fabric going too well with an azure blue vinyl, car interior but, well there ya go! I love it's colours! and it's vintageness screams out to me and I wish there was more of it!
