Palm Tree Applique Bag


 This bag was my first attempt at applique and I surprised myself at how gorgeous it came out.  It is whimsical, I didn't plan out where the pieces would go, I just started to add material and sew them on.  The colors are fabulous.  The orange and yellow of the sun really pop out against the blue background.  This is absolutely a one of a kind bag- a piece of wearable art.  The image is made with overlaid layers of felt.  The inside lining is made with a soft red felt.  The bag is 13.5 inches high and 10.5 inches wide.  The picture at the bottom shows me wearing it over my shoulder (note: the image is in reverse because I used the mirror).

This bag is just $25 plus shipping and handling!
