Trendy... moi?

The son of one of my friends is doing an MA at the Royal College of Art. Part of his project has been to set up a web site http://www.wefab.org/ (still under construction) where potential buyers can source original designs for hand crafted items and find a maker on the same site who will make up the items for them. Last week I did a trial run for one of the designs... a duffle bag called "Bag 'N' Roll"


Version one was made from rather "on trend" Amy Butler fabrics from this season's collection, finished off with a couple of old French buttons.

Version two was made from a couple of "not the least bit on trend" Asda tea towels with plain black buttons.

I quite like version two but then I never was one to follow trends!

If you design and/or make hand crafted items to sell... at fairs or on etsy etc... then would you consider helping Edward by filling in the following on line survey?
It takes about 1 minute and can be completely anonymous if you like. Thank you!

    I'm not in the least bit trendy, unless by accident, but I do like the first bag. Both are very practical and good to look at too. I wish Edward well with his project.

    Re Saturday's post and the answer to the question 'Is it too early for a G&T?' No, remember it's always four o'clock somewhere in the Empire. This has got me out of a tight spot on more than one occasion.
