Being a Bag Lady

Mary Engelbreit came to the rescue of a very English problem. We buy multi packs of crisps which come in a huge packet which invariably rips when you try to find your favourite flavour. The crisp packets are then scattered all over the cupboard, taking up valuable space.

So this is a bag for all those feral crisp packets to be kept in. The yellow lining has cherries on as do the main fabric and the handles.

Isn't that armchair perfect for knitting in?

The bag is now hanging in the dead space inside the electricity meter cupboard. Thank you Simone for the gorgeous fabrics.

Another bag was needed for sheet music and music books now I am teaching Hubby to play the guitar. Mary Engelbreit came to the rescue again. These were unused FQs from her Caroler range with musical notes on. The white with red notes fabric was all used up. I like it when that happens.

The outside is black and glittery. It is a stronger than normal cotton as it seems to have a rubbery film on to keep the glitter in the fabric.

The bag even has some growing room for more print outs and books.

I'm not sure if I can be called a wire phobic, but I know I don't like the look of wires all over the place. So now there is a bag for the amp wires.

It used up the rest of the red musical notes and most of the black ones. There wasn't enough to do totally red handles, so I tried my best with an insert. The lining is striped like in music. I thought it went with the theme.

The musical note insert enabled me to make the bag a bit taller and use up the rest of the black glitter fabric to make a tall thin bag. I folded the corners so it could have a square base for the wires to be coiled into.

The musical set together! Far tidier than what was happening before with bits of paper all over the place and wires to trip over.
