Blue Quilted Bag - Charity shop challenge part 2

I wanted a bag to use for work, that  would be big enough to hold my lunch box. 

So I thought I would make a quilted bag using some of the fabric found in  the bundle from the CS.  I combined this navy print with  plain blue curtain fabric from my stash.

Sewing Room

A few pictures of my sewing room...................




This was a bedroom until my oldest son moved out.  Having a very small budget to create the room, some creative thinking was needed.  First the walls were painted in a dark cream colour.  The sewing machine table is a computer desk given to me by a kind friend having a clear out.



The chest of drawers is an ebay bargain, bought for only £16, those little drawers are perfect for storing fat quarters.





The Lloyd loom style chair, a junk shop find, was originally pink and gold, I have painted it a creamy yellow colour, recovered the seat in yellow gingham.   The patchwork quilted cushions as featured before.  Curtains used to be in my dining room, simply cut down and tied back with ribbon from stash.  Boxes storing craft magazines (yet to be covered).

This wire Ikea drawer unit was rescued from the garage and fitted with a MDF top, handy home for my cutting matt.
