Green Floral Origami Bag

Another extra large origami bag in a green mix. This one is also fully reversible with a pretty floral on one side and a delicate stripe on the other.

The handles are denim for strength and durability.

Simplicity 5380

Technically, this is 1980s fashion because Simplicity 5380 was printed in 1981, but to me the silhouette seems more 1970s.

Summer Reading

 I've been lucky enough this summer to get some reading done. 

Under the shade, next to the beach, is definitely one of the best ways to do it.

Agatha Christie's Parker Pyne Investigates was very enjoyable and now I've started Death Of An Elgin Marble by David Dickinson. I've only read a couple of pages but it's a great start and I'm hooked!

Olive Green Drawstring Pouch

This is the pouch for my green tie tote, in the same material as the bag, with an added lace accent for a modest romantic touch.

All you have to do is fold the bag and place it in the pouch, cinch the drawstring and tie ribbon into a bow. Now you have a very practical bag for all sorts of occassions.

I always keep a couple of these pouches in my bag. There's always something extra to tote around and, as I've sworn off plastic bags, these eco-friendly reusable bags always seem to come in handy.

Olive Green Foldable Tote Bag

Another origami tote bag, in olive green.

I always have mine folded and tucked into my bag for any occasion I need an extra bag to carry something in.
