You know the trouble I've found when it comes to making things for my mom, is that she's my mom; the woman who taught me how to sew & so much more.. At first, I had this wall of worry holding me back; wanted to do the best & impress, which in turn made me dead worried over not doing good enough, till I remembered; iss my mom, all I needa be is myself!
So I decided to go with a bag, which I thought would be useful for momma... main body is big enough to have loadsa random bits stuffed in.. can even leave it open to popn in a sandwich or whatever else gets picked up along the day. Lil front pocket for change/keys/buttons & a back sleeve pocket for the old envelope/letter which has notes written on it... maybe it's the phone number of a customer bumped into that day- maybe it's the name of a takeaway someone recommended in west-yorkshire- never really know, but at least there's something to carry it all in now!
