I started out with the idea of making a small patchwork bag and got to work making a pattern from card that I could create a circle with.
Au stitched each of the patches together and to a long strip so that I could form the bag by weaving a strap/ handle along the edges.
after this I added some details to the patchwork in paint to give it a more busy look.
to make the handle I took some strips of black con ton material and used a coil making technique with string.
