Handmade Histories 3: small linen bag

Small linen bag (Fruitique:Sonya)


E is 6 years old and was given the little linen bag for her last birthday by us at 88. She keeps in her bag the following:

ipod touch (pink) - lots of Abba but favourite at the moment 'Chasing the Sun' by the Wanted ( I am so not in touch with music these days I had to google The Wanted  - so unhip of me!).
notepad and pen which she uses to write lyrics down.
'grown up purse' from Asda with a zip for coins..very important the zip.
one ten pound note and two twenty pound notes (Christmas money) folded very precisely into squares.



E has to be careful where she leaves her lovely bag as she has a sweet but very curious two year old sister who would dearly love to grab her bag, empty it, examine all enclosed, then lose all enclosed. If the bag isn't with E, she keeps it high up on top of the piano and at night takes it to bed with her on the top bunk, far away from the sticky fingers of a much adored but prying loved one.

PS Not only is Sonya Fruitique a talented designer of all wares sewn, she's a wonderful photographer (her bread and butter business) - many thanks to her for the above bag photo.
