May project all done

This weekend I met with friends and had a weekend of sewing. 

I had my stitchery ready, fabric chosen and sewing machine threaded up. 

I spent all day Saturday putting my bag together. 




I was toying with the idea of adding a pocket to the inside of the bag. 

It was suggested I use a magnet instead. 
I put a magnet into the lining of the bag. 


Then I made a Lanyon with a lobster clasp at the end and attached the other magnet to the Lanyon. 

So now when I have keys or scissors attached to the Lanyon I won't lose them  As they will be attached to the magnet in my bag. 


I enjoyed making the bag so who knows another might be made in the future.
