I had been asked to make and design a beach bag,as a suprise 40th birthday present. The lady that had ordered the bag knew she wanted a sunbather on the front and also a messgae/logo on the back.
I suggested that they wrote a simple message on the pocket, which I then embroided over,
before stitching onto the flowery lining fabric.
I made the straps using both fabrics and had the flowery fabric as the top of the strap to add some contrast to the plain pink main fabric.
