Working Bags

Since I posted this I have added to my collection of vintage magazines.  And although I haven't actually got the magazine, I received a transfer in amongst more some magazines.   The magazine in question would have been Fancy Needlework Illustrated Number 122, of the 1920's and 1930's, it is transfer for a beach bag.  I certainly can imagine the lady with her small towel, and her knitted swimming costume heading for the beach.

as soon as I saw the transfer I instantly thought outside the box!

It would make an ideal project bag,

I have also made some more of my 1944 bags too.
