Fabric R.I.P
On my continuing quest to find the perfect material (I am currently looking for a particular tweed and ripstop tent material in brown) I visited Fabric land in Bedminster. What an amazing shop. I think it is a retirement home for fabric as it was full from floor to ceiling with patterns from the 70s and 80s and not really much past then. There are two aisles, one of which you can’t get down due to the foam piled up and there is no order to the rest of it. I found some interesting material with a little Dutch looking girl on it weighing out cheese and I bought 1m for £2. I made 2 bags for birthday presents and one for a small child.
I had a good idea for your bag business, you should make bags big enough for books, so you can take them on the underground. Not massively bulky but enough for a laregish novels and hardbacks. There is a definate gap in the market there!!!
libraryBag
Already done it! My Library bag was one of the first I made for carrying library books. I suspect it could also be used for carrying books on the tube.
I recently bought a book bag from Christchurch library, which I just joined after lifting my self impossed library ban. However this is becoming a problem for me as I have an obsession with lovely canvas bags and have been collecting them throughout my trip. Id like you to send me a canvas bag that I can keep them all in please.
Ooo can I place an order for a LibraryBag?
