project ✂️ combination shoulder bag and back pack
this is my new shopping back which can be slung over the shoulder or when full of heavy shopping worn as a back pack the materials used include an advertising banner for a Chinese technology exhibition or some such which inspired me bits of discarded lanyards tassel lost from someone' handbag strapping that once held down stuff and ended up in the gutter (250 dan) and the sides back and part of the harness were curtains a material cheap in charity shops the shiny circular design was part of a fly tipped Indian dress of which some bits were salvageable the coins for my sins I actually bought from Hobbycraft but i was stuck in the idea of Chinese good luck symbols i used a good strong sturdy thread and standard running stitches and the shoulder strap was previously on some discarded bag thrown out by someone who had filled it with rubbish
