”…..Have you heard the Gossip Doris….?? ”
”I’M on the fence about IT Betty…..!!”                                                                     Here we go again….with another unique Tote Bag – this time with ‘Knitting Sheep in Boots’ 🙂  …….I’m starting to think, maybe….I need therapy, to move on from my little sheep creations – BUT, on the upside I found another use for some more little coloured wooden flower buttons!! 🙂

If you are looking to ”GO GREEN” …then, this is most definitely a bag for you 😉
The front of this little handy tote has a central patchwork landscape panel with hand appliquéd ‘gossiping sheep’ – both whiling their time away, knitting from the little lamb in the sheep dip – It would seem…..It’s purple season in the sheep fashion world 😉
The addition of some coordinating, little painted wooden buttons, finishes off the cute countryside scene perfectly !

A perfect little novelty bag, especially as the lambing season is only weeks away – It’s sure to put a Spring in Your Step with all its cute colourful quirkiness !! Oh…But I couldn’t leave it there….. A little design for the reverse, and of course, another for my inside multi-pocket 😀

Another captured moment of the little pair- framed within a patchwork hand quilted panel!

My triple internal multi-pocket design (One with a zip fastening for extra security)
As ever, I think the inside is just as important as the outside – so…why not have a little sheep in there too???! 😉

A SUPER CUTE Unique Novelty bag, perfect for all manner of occasions – Or, Just for fun!! Looking for something completely unique, and lovingly handmade ?….maybe, for a knitter/wool crafter’s gift – what better to hold their little projects safe and sound whilst out and about?!… than a lovely quality cotton handmade ”knitting sheep tote” https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/227700377/unique-patchwork-tote-free-shipping-cute?ref=shop_home_active_1

…I might just resort to a self healing therapy!!!….I do have another little sheep project itching to get underway, now this one is finished….maybe, that will cure me ??? 😉

Small pink gingham bunny tote/bag

Having got full swing into bunnies, my next thought was how about that lovely piece of pink gingham I bought recently it would be perfect for a little tote/bag. So, rather than patchwork I decided on appliquéing some lovely bright pink bunnies I cut from felt with a little heart above them. After I had stitched them in place I hand quilted over the whole piece and then routed around in my buttons until I found enough matching ones to stitch around the heart. That really set it off nicely. Not content with just one lot of bunnies I decided the back of the tote/bag deserved a little design too. So again I drew out a sketch of a bunny cut it out of some white felt this time and stitched it in place. Surely if the front could have buttons, why not the back?! So… back to the button tins! This time I hand stitched a little grass border and added some ‘button flowers’, then to finish off gave the bunny a giant felt flower and a pink pompom tail

Most would think okay, enough bunnies…! but as I was making one of my special multi-pockets for the inside of the tote/bag I though ”Oh, Why not!” so I added a final little pink and white bunny in there too. Adding little beads for eyes and stitching little cute noses on them all. I finished the quilting on the reverse of the bag, made the little handles and finished with a magnetic clasp.

Yay! One perfect pink bunny bag. And guess what? Its already ‘hopping’ its way to its new owner! 🙂
