I had request from my son for a delivery bag. J does a paper round and needed a new bag. After much deliberation between the kokka robots and the echino bicycle fabric he went with the bicycles. I made up the pattern as I went along using an old esprit bag that I had.
To give the bag a base I folded some of the fabric to the outside forming a triangle shape and stitched - a sort of deconstructed look. I also let some of the selvedge show, but was a bit bummed when the word bicycles got covered by the turned up fabric.
And the verdict from the delivery bag critic

Love it! Yup, it's cool!
Hey, thanks for popping in to visit me. I loved your story. What a great neighbour you are!!
Lovely bag : ) I have some of that fabric too!! So far I have cut out around the bike and sewn it onto a shirt for our little guy.
Great bag, love how you made the base. Hope that paper round just zips right along now!
hello! thanks for popping by and visiting my little blog. In answer to your questions, I purchased the metal cake plate handles on ebay (my second home). There are quite a few sellers in the UK that sell them. Hope this helps.
