A beautiful bag and it looks really expensive, I have a bag with a secret pocket and I usually keep a £20 note for emergencies in it.

Wow, that’s most impressive @Marniesews . It’s beautiful and perfectly quilted. What a lovely gift. :love:

Very nice, is this a career change to handbag designer?

No, I don't think so @Ellabella. I can't imagine that with my natural inclination to prevarication but thank you and everyone for all the lovely compliments.

More bags to show you before we catch up to my current project -- a bag for me at long last! I hope you'll enjoy those too.
Hopefully back more regularly! Ballroom sewing may be permanently paused but bag making is the current focus.

I'm not much of a handbag man but WOW! That bag belongs on the shelf of a posh shop. Some serious sewing skill envy here.

The best advice I can give you, is don't take advice from me
Don't follow me, I do stupid things
