Envelope cushion including paper piecing!

Two weeks ago a friend and I worked on a paper piecing (the flying geese), which we then turned into an envelope cushion!

With the rest of this lovely Laura Ashley fabric we created a shopping bag for her.

Shopping bag!

She choose green colours and I love the touch of quirkiness to it.

The handles are made in the same way as you see in Straps from scraps !

We stitched the front and back  with the a French seam together.

with a pocket in the front and the long straps her designer bag is completed!

Pretty cushion and lovely bag!
