Stylish and practical: one movement - and the backpack turns into a bag! The bag can be carried both with one, and with two handles.
These little bags are a great way to practice your sashiko stitching. Just large enough to hold a gift; make them in classic navy, or try small floral fabric for a touch of spring.
I prefer to use prints in a project to keep myself interested and so struggle to limit myself to just using solids. I used blenders for some of the lighter ‘transparent’ colours, which kept me happy!

Step-by-step instructions

Welcome the return of spring and some favourite flowers with this cheerful wall hanging
I enjoy drawing and painting, particularly flowers, and have many designs I’ve drawn but have yet to use, so this small wall hanging was an opportunity to put some little flower designs to good use as applique. Tulips, daffodils and pansies are a welcome sight in my garden in the spring and the sunny colours remind me that winter is over.
