In a previous post, I was debating what I should make from my lovely piece of vintage 'Marakesh' fabric by Flair - should it be a bag or cushions? Well, as you can see, I made both!
The simple, sling bag is lined with a toning plain green fabric. It has a long strap (so it can be worn comfortably across the body) and a couple of handy internal pockets. It fastens with a magnetic clasp and can hold quite a lot - it's about 40 cm wide and 30 cm high (about 16 x 12 inches). It's a real head-turner!
The cushion covers have plain black fabric on the back, and a neat zip closure. They measure about 42 cm/17" square and are shown with 45 cm/18" cushion inners. They'd look great in a retro style room - they're very 70s! - and would really add a pop of colour to a plain sofa.
I even had some fabric left over...so I'm planning another bag. A different design this time, but just as eye-catching!
