This gorgeous shopping bag is made from old rice sacks, embellished with scraps of pretty cotton. It's fully lined, too, with a couple of internal pockets.
Designs vary as each is handmade. £36.50 from Pepper and Brown.
I also love Rice's patchwork travel bag. Hop over the cut to see if you do too!
New to bag-making? Want a simple project that you can complete in an afternoon? Of course you do!
Jennifer Ladd's fat quarter handbag tutorial is easy-to-follow and uses minimal materials - a fat quarter of delicious fabric, solid colour lining fabric, fusable interfacing, thread, and a pair of bag handles.
For clutch purses, bags, laptop cases and baby booties in delicious fabrics, check out Jennifer's shop.

Nest Pretty Things - the blog of interior designer and Tamar - has been a favourite of mine for a while, and now she has opened a shiny new website.
The shop is full of covetable items in mouth-watering fabrics, and this pretty corduroy pouch in English Rose fabric is just one of them...

Poppy Treffry's designs use scraps of vintage fabric and embroidery and are very endearing indeed. And it's not just Shabby Chick that thinks so... Her tea, coffee and egg cosies are used by Claridges, no less!
She creates cushions and bags, too. Hop over the cut for a picture of the very lovely 'flouncy butterfly bag'.
