Story Bags

At Crafternoon Tea on the weekend I sat next to a lovely lady called 

Ella Thomas who has a stall called 

"Ellaquaint".

Ella does amazing artworks of native birds on canvas.

Every time Ella sold a canvas she would put the canvas in a bag she had made from old maps. 

They were really cool.

On Sunday morning I was lying in bed when the idea came to me that I could do the same with my sales using old books of nursery rhyme's that I had collected. 

So that afternoon with the help of  Master O and his friend Miss B we made some bags. 

Miss B named them " Story bags".

Here they are:

I sewed them on 3 sides with the sewing machine
