Ryan's room update and my VW camper van bag

VW camper van messenger bag

You will have noticed a distinct lack of posts updating the progress of my makeover of Ryan's room. I promise as soon as I persuade the other half to venture up to the loft and retrieve my paste table, work will begin.

 In the meantime I have been busying myself with making a few more bags, with the idea of either selling them at a craft fair or giving them as Christmas gifts.

After my first attempt at making and doing the messenger bag tutorial, using a mans shirt I found in my local charity shop, the bug has bit. I have now started hunting out charity shops, just so I can see what interesting shirts they have. I now have a box full of future bags, ready for the winter. 

I have already completed two bags, a checked man bag messenger and just finished a VW Camper van smaller bag. The VW bag came about after seeing a piece of fabric in little shop near me, just big enough for a flap and trim. It sparked my imagination and my new bag was born. The main body of the bag was recycled linen type trousers and an old webbing belt for the strap.

What do you think, should I sell or gift?

Today was also the day I made my Facebook page live, I'd love it if you wanted to take a look and like my page.. click here Bunting Corner on Facebook
