Mother Gifties

When I run out of bag-space in my closet, I make them for my mom. Here's her new traveling bag, with lots of interior pockets, a little clutchy pouch and a matching notebook. I may have to make matching notebooks for all future handbags. A cereal box, a fabric scrap, and some odds and ends of paper. Very satisfying.

  1. How did you bind the notebook? Actual awl and waxed twine? Or staples? Or gluestick?

  2. Oh no. I just sewed it. With my sewing machine. I theoretically have some idea of how to bind books properly but in actuality it's way to much work and precision. I'll make you one.

  3. I love my new bag. It is so elegant. I am also,like Lisa, impressed with the little notebook. Everyone who has seen it says you should be selling these bags. I agree. The women of the world deserve a chance to own one!
