Beth Sprouts Handmade; me and my teddy bear

So here is my 'fairtrade' creation.

A pair of saggy bottomed cerise velvet overalls. I have already washed the car in them, of course. The little ted was a gift from my mum a few years ago, it is amazing the colour is exactly the same! And amazing how I managed to get such a teddy bear shaped rear view on the overalls.

The little clutch bag is of the same fabric, with a contrasting blue zip. You can't see it, but it is lined with a lovely liberty fabric remnant. NOW, I am pretty sure I have somewhere in my sketchbooks from a few years ago a design for the bag - which I never made - and then of course Celine has gone and done it.

I should also mention the T-shirt is also fairtrade - I have made two striped shirts with this pattern. I love it. Very airy, and there's something a bit more interesting about a T-shirt not made from jersey.

Beth Sprouts Handmade; 3 way

In my feeble little mind I believed this to be truelly revolutionary. One bag - 3 ways! Until. I was poo-pooed by a man.
First way: a simple clutch with large bow
Second way: a shoulder bag turning your clutch into a useful for dancing with bag
Third way: a long strapped bag for chucking over the shoulder in the cycle ride home
WOW

But no, apparantly it is one bag, and still silly because you can't fit a laptop or wear it as a rucksac.

Who uses a laptop? It fits an ipad.
