I was a little excited when I saw that Stacy Nash had designed a little something in RED a couple weeks back.... As my early morning stitch, I could barely put it down!!!
I made mine a tad wider ( about 2") than the pattern specified... I knew mine would hold my ipad..... 32 count Zweigert linen~ stained by me~ GAST Country Redwood 1 over 2~
And, I wanted to hand stitch a few turkey stitches along the bottom... I used Size 10 Camel DMC Cebelia Crochet Cotton Thread...Tonal and subtle is my style....
x x x x Tiny "x's" line the top edge inside....... x x x x
The back of the piece has lots of distressing and coffee staining....
Here is what the front and back look like when the bag is opened...
This was really a fun project, especially knowing it was something I could use and be functional~
Soon...... Giveaway information~ I promise!!!
Smiles.....

Beautiful work, it a lovely bag!
