Just finished this bag made from vintage Japanese obi silk which has a hint of sparkle. The front is overlaid with a vintage lace with a floral trim down the middle and it's self lined in the same silk fabric. It's hand stitched onto a vintage style frame and finished with narrow vintage lace around the top inside and at the top of the back. Think I went a bit over the top with the lace!

Started this bag for myself before David died, then put it away for a while. Pulled it out a few weeks ago and finished it. The buttons are all covered in Liberty fabric. It's a fun little bag
