When my mum came over here (from Western Japan to Eastern Japan) to help me packing the end of September, she had a lovely tote bag with her.
And she told me that it was made by her friend and also told me that she is offering to make one for me if I want.
So I gathered all materials (fabrics, lace, linen code) and left them to my mum.And here it is, what my mum's friend made for me!
Isn't this lovely?!
I heard that she felt something is missing, so she added lace crochet on the surface.
The lace crochet is actually a sleeve of old cardigan, I heard.
It's nice idea, isn't it!? She loves to recycle, so that's just like her!
I love this tote bag so much! It suits for jeans, too I think! This is not only lovely but very functional, she added many pockets inside and she made handles longer than her original design for me, because I have a little kid always with me, so she thought it's more useful.
What a thoughtful gift it is!
Thanks Mrs. Chikako!
