Last November, as the winter nights were drawing in and I was getting very inspired by the Maker Hood idea or make do and mend and create something new... I decided to bring some new life to a tired shoulder bag - my cat bag.
It was in a sorry state, the metal bits for the zips had fallen off and all the piping was coming off. It was an old favourite that I'd bought about 10 years ago from Camden to cheer me up when I had a cold. Naturally, I was still attached to my cat bag and wanted to give it a new lease of life so I bought some ribbon for the zips and sewed thread around all the piping in attractive bright colours, worked on the zips with the ribbon and patched up any holes I could find.
And this is the result of my hard work. I am very pleased with it and have definitely given the cat bag a new lease of life - I just need to figure out how to disguise some rusty marks on the front from badges that had lived there for tooooooo long. Any ideas?
