Finished bag and dress

Here's two projects that I've recently finished. The bag was seen in progress in my previous 2 posts. It now has its handles attached. The hardest part was working out how to attach the lining, which I just couldn't get my head round. I managed it in the end! I'm pleased with the pleats in the fabric at the handle, and also how much stuff I can fit in it!
The other project is the dress, which I made using a reprinted 1940s pattern. The hem still needs some work, and I needed some advice from Mum on fit, but as it's the first dressmaking I've done for ages I'm really pleased. I'm planning to wear it to a swing jive event, which will give me a chance to try out another newly acquired skill - lindy hop!

Tag Tuesday

Ok, so not officially college work, but still creative. I am taking part in a Tag Tuesday challenge to create a tag on a different theme every week. I've managed three so far, and it's great to see my work alongside the work of others. I've given myself the extra challenge of only working on the tag on Monday night, so it doesn't take over. Here's my latest tag, on the theme of vintage.

Made using a card of darning wool from mother-in-law's workbasket.
