I decided I would make more of them but find a way to do the handles properly. One way to do this is to make the handles separately, which I have chosen to do with the bag I am currently making.
This bag is much smaller than the mohair bag, and I'm making it with linen and with a silk lining. I have made some felt for the handles and my first attempt to sew them together looked really messy but fortunately they were also too big so I've cut them down and am hopefully going to get this bag finished today.
While I've been writing this Monty the cat has taken up residence in his favourite chair - which just happens to be the chair at the desk where I sew.

Oh, that's such a familiar sight - cat getting on the chair as soon as you get up! And don't let look disgusted if you try and move them :) Hope the bag finishing works out to your satisfaction. x Shaz
Looking forward to seeing the finished bag...and hope Monty has found an equally snug corner:)xx
My cats Doug and Embley (it's a long story), have a habit of working in a team to distract me when I'm sewing. They wait till the hear the motor going, so they know I can't do anything, then Embley leaps on my lap and Doug jumps up on the kitchen counter where he's not allowed. Little pests! I look forward to seeing the finished bag, by the way!
