The brown cord and green cotton were thrifted earlier this year.
It all looked rather plain until I added the train.
This is the first bag I've made so I was really pleased with how it turned out- especially since I didn't use a pattern. I've found that when using thrifted fabric you have to make something for the fabric rather than use the fabric to make a certain pattern - does that make sense?!!!
Anyhow, I really enjoyed making it and seeing it turned out well has definitely spurred me on to trying out some other things.

Good lord, you put my first bag (or ummm 10) to SHAME!! That looks very nice. And I so get you on the thrifted fabric, you never know what you're going to fin but it will never fit any of thep rojects you want to use it for.
What a lucky little boy! That is lovely, I can just imagine it filled with little boys things ready for adventure, but hopefully none of the yucky boys things :)
Well done, I'm sure he will love it, I know mine would!
Great idea! So smart!
Love it! Well done, I'm sure it will go down very well. xx
Oh, it's perfect!!
Wow... looks amazing. And without a pattern. That's very impressive.
Wow thats a great bag. So jealous of your obvious skill. Now do I really believe thats your first ever bag and without a pattern too? Fantastic.

That's a really lovely bag!! I'd be really chuffed if I'd made that!!
Great job mama!
I love the train, the button wheels are too sweet! : )
That is alovely bag. I don't use patterns either for my bags but am learning to keep a record of the sizes I cut them so that I can replicate the ones that people love. I get requests to make one just like so-and-so's and haven't got a clue, except a photo if I am lucky, of how I made so-and-so's. I am sure the little boy will just love this. I find they are often the most loyal receivers of my bags.
