I found a padded fabric bag when I was second hand shopping the other week. I always like sewing onto padded fabric – you can get really neat stitches ….
I decided to cover the bag in the grey scraps of denim fabric that were left over from my cushion cover.
It’s always tricky covering 3D objects in fabric but it’s got much easier since I started using quilting pins.
The grey/ blue design was working but I felt that the red zip stood out a bit too much – so I went back over my stitching again with variegated orange thread and red making circles.
I am quite pleased with how it turned out- some of my tension has puckered the fabric in places ….. below is the finished bag showing the inside fabric too
