Yes! It’s the last swimming bag. I’ve finally managed to finish it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The colours didn’t come out right in the photos. The purple fabric is a Kona solid<\/a>, which is a little darker than in the picture. The red fabric is a deep red cotton\/linen mix which was a dream to work with. I just completely loved the texture and feel of it and am so happy that I have some left over.<\/p>\n

The appliqu\u00e9 fish was a silvery fabric I had in my stash. I believe it was used for a costume I made for our theatre group at uni. However, I cannot for love or money remember which play it was for. A sure sign of the passing time, isn’t it? Anyway, ramblings aside, the fabric has a lovely sheen to it and reminded me of sardines. Hence the longish body of this fish. There isn’t a lot of detail on the fish, which honestly was because I didn’t have the time. Looking at it now, I actually really like the simplicity of it. I feel a new trend coming on…<\/p>\n

The eye of the fish are two buttons, a small blue one on top of a dark grey one. The brief for the bag was purple and red with a glittery fish and the letter “C”. As the fish is more shimmering than glittery, I thought I’d add a sequin “C” for the bling effect.<\/p>\n

As with the two other swimming bags I added an inside pocket for goggles, hair ties and other bits and bobs.<\/p>\n

In this picture you can also see the bright red zip that closes the bag. I used to be quite scared of zips before I got the “Bag Making Bible”<\/a> by the lovely Lisa Lam. Her book is just so fantastic I cannot praise it enough. It is packed with tips and tricks for making fabulous bags and although I haven’t made one of the bags in the book yet, I cannot wait to find some time to make a bag for myself. I even have some fabric for the lining ready.<\/p>\n
