Grocery Bag Purse |

This bag (left) is my entry in the July Whiplash competition. I designed it to be a replica of a typical shopping bag (right). |  |
|
The inside is lined with gingham and has a few pockets for pens, phone, and small items. I also made a shopping receipt change purse. |  |
 |
 |
 |
There are two ways to carry the purse: by the fabric handles (left) or by an interior drawstring (right). |  |
 |
I created the design by scanning a grocery bag into Photoshop, printing the design, and using transfer paper to transfer it to the fabric, which was cut using a grocery bag as a pattern. |  |
 |
The design was then embroidered on the bag using a combination of stem and satin stich, before the bag was sewn together. |  |
I am entering this bag into the SKILL category (Although I thought it could have gone in the FANCY, since it features embellishment).
Special thanks to my models: Mary and Jenny
