Breaking Bag!

There's a string bag in our house that gets a lot of use....


it has hung on several nails, in many places, and contained a myriad of things...


its current position is in the bathroom where it is in regular demand.
As it is so well employed it has become a bit more aerated than originally intended



  and has more holes than is functionally effective!




It was suggested we get a new one, but having seen some
  beautifully visibly mended projects I thought it lent itself to some colourful alterations!




A pouchy pocket with skills learned from Linda's string bag tutorial.



 The longer laceration required some freestyle suturing 



It adds a bit of colour and charm to the well loved item and given it a bit of a zingy lift!
It has also met with approval of the rest of the household!


A very relaxing way to spend an evening just randomeandering!
