Toni, from the simple sparrow blog, has declared April, Use What You Have month, and has invited others to join her in the challenge of not buying anything new in the way of art and craft supplies for one month.
Not too difficult for me because I have lots of stash on hand from years of sewing and crafting, and finding use for remnants and scraps always makes me happy. So I'm in.
This was the perfect opportunity to use what I had to make a new bag. And I had everything I needed.
The back is an awesome print with a blue bird that went perfectly with a snippet of vintage rick-rack in a matching shade of robin's egg blue.
Cassie might recognize the fabric. It was part of the vintage swap we did last year (that also just happened to be organized by Toni).
Funny how it all came full circle!
