The Summer Olympics sparked an over-the-top creative fascination with all things British. First up is Jacqui’s Amy Butler Sophia Carry All. (and since I know you’re going to ask – flag fabric is from Jacqui’s stash purchased at Walmart years ago – darn!)
Lined with the London Underground Map fabric from Timeless Treasures (no longer in stock – wish I had yards of this hidden in my stash!).
A fun red zipper tops it off.
Purse feet ready for heavy use!
Becky’s Mary Mulari Church Ladies Apron for her sister’s birthday (shhh… it’s a surprise).
Great shapes on this design.
It’s reversible too!
Becky’s clever covered button detail on her new bag.
Inspiration from the shop:
Aneela Hoey London – downloadable embroidery pattern.
Town & Country by Dear Stella.
London luxury – Liberty of London Tana Lawn Bundle.

oh man, i love that union jack fabric so so so much. i think we’ve all found some gold at walmart and the like at one point or another… problem is that i usually don’t discover that it’s gold until weeks or months or years later and i didn’t get enough!
You never know what you’ll find at Walmart! Great bag.

Love love it. There is Union Jack fabric still available. I purchased some recently, Cool Britannia from Benartex. You can google it or maybe find it on Fabshophop.com. Love the bag.
Great projects! So inspirational.
The Royal Wedding, The Olympics, and so much wonderful London-centric fabric. This anglophiles heart is beating fast!
Oh, that subway fabric is a hidden treat inside that bag!
