Autumn Flowers

Since we’ll be going back east for two weeks over the Thanksgiving holidays, I decided a new autumn bag is in order. So I made a bouquet of lovely flowers to carry around on my arm all day.

The exterior fabric I chose was in the home decorator fabrics in Jo-Ann’s. The rich colors and woven texture evoke autumn to me.



The print scale of the fabric I chose for the lining is a nice balance to the larger exterior fabric print. I love how the colors in the lining flowers echo those of the exterior fabric. Even the flower shapes in both fabrics are similar in style although on different size scales. I think it works just fine.
