Beach Bag Happiness

I've been making use of the school holidays by not sewing, (I think I'm on holiday too, but I'm not really)....However I'm feeling very pleased with myself, I am making use of my sewing. Though it looks rather crumpled sitting there in the sand.

Japanese Knot Bag

 I made the 'Japanese Knot Bag' out of an old skirt made of a type of Chinese brocade fabric. The skirt was really lovely but I made the short side, not slanting down far too short. It fitted very tight too so I threw it in the disaster rag bag...It sat there for years until today when I re-hashed it into a Japanese knot bag...Here is the pattern.
