I have embroidered this UT design a number of times. Bag made from wool suiting and extras from me. Over the past 18 months many in the UK are trying where ever possible to shop locally. I have made this as a gift. Most of my work is made as gifts for a specific person. The lining was a new shirt bought from a charity shop in town. Thanks for looking

You are so clever repurposing these fabrics into lovely bags. I love the design and try to shop local also.

I love thinking and using repurposed fabric. Why waste when good and usable. You find a good many really quality things in charity shops.

One persons rubbish is someone else’s use. I love a weekly wander around the charity shops in town

I find it’s cheaper to buy a shirt in the charity shop than buy new fabric. Thanks for looking

What a great design and a sentiment that is needed post covid. So many local businesses have financial troubles this past year that we all should keep this in mind.
