It's natural cotton duck, lined with pale pink cotton and will take a 13 inch square pizza box. Three handy pockets made from Cath Kidston fabric, fully lined too, for embellishments, stickers & tools etc, and double thickness straps for comfort.

I'm contemplating putting the word Scrapbooking on the other side in felt letters, just for a little something extra. Could I just put Scrappin' ? Would a scrapbooker say that? Suggestions please!

What do you think? Any good, and would you buy one - I'm pricing them at £12.50.

I think it's beautiful. The colour choice is lovely. :)

[Seahorse]

They are so neat!!!Did you make the whole thing???

Id put your name on it somewhere, design your own label.

Great price!

Well done, 10 out of 10.

Well done its lovily i like the print and yes i would buy one.

[nattynetty]

That's fantastic, I love it!

Can't believe how quickly you can up with it....it was only a few days ago that I suggested it, wish i could work so quickly.

I agree with Seahorse, if you haven't already you should defo add your label - people need to know where it came from.

Thats really lovely. I'd never manage anything like that. I'm terrible at sewing!

[Apple Tree Crafts]

.......Duuuuhhhhhhh!

Thanks Seahorse, you little treasure, you!

How about this? It's between the two smaller pockets.

Beautiful bag! Would love to make my own but I too am terrible at sewing.

Well done you :)

[mollymandy]

The label is just perfect.

[swirlyarts]

Mmmmmm - looooove the colours, they work really well together. Natty Netty is right - it was quick!! I normally dawdle for ages and then forget about it! The price is good too considering you would pay at least that for a boring black one. Where did you get your labels made? I'll need to have some made up for my chickens for when I get onto Etsy.

[Apple Tree Crafts]

They came from America, but still really cheap compared to any I could find here that I liked - found loads that were twee here in UK, but ughhh!

They do loads of things. I'm thinking about some ribbon, but spoiled for choice on their site. They are really quick too, took about a week.

Fantastic - have bookmarked the page so I can ask hubby's advice!

[Apple Tree Crafts]

Chickens?

Jules

[swirlyarts]

Chicken doorstops that you can fill with rice - made with vintage fabrics!! Got the pattern just need to get the sewing machine sorted!

[Apple Tree Crafts]

I think they'll sell well - chickens are always popular. Put a pic up when you get your machine sorted please?

Jules

[swirlyarts]

I will do!!

[swirlyarts]

I've just ordered some name tags - chickens here I come!!

[Cloverst]

I think they're really nice!

Have you thought about sewing the label into the seam at the side of the bag? You know like you find on some t-shirts these days?

[Apple Tree Crafts]

I messed about with several label ideas, but decided to keep the label flat so it's easier to read. I'm looking for other label styles at present, and I'd love some cotton tape with my business name on, but haven't found a supplier yet. The label on the bag is made in USA!

[GeorgeBee]

[Apple Tree Crafts]

Thats Fab!

Although i wouldn't put any lettering on the other side as it could it be used for other things - I'd use one for storing some of my jewellery making stuff in, would make it easier to transport stuff :D

Let me know when they go on sale!

[Katianne]

Hi Jules,

The bag is really lovely, also saw your aprons on another post and loved them too. Do you have a site that you sell them on? Hope all the craft fair organising is going well!

Kate :)
