My old "Nana Bag", in Gibson Girl fabric, was getting threadbare. It was time for a new one.
.
I call my regular bag, the "Nana Bag", because I always carried Grand Children necessities in it. Extra tissues at all times. When grands get in HS and are playing sports, some chocolate to revive them after a hard game, was another thing, carried in the "Nana Bag." :-)
.
And... All the time... It is the only purse I carry.
.
Since this fabric has a large pattern, each side looks different.
.
And I even lined it, with another fabric. It's not perfect, but I am very "proud" of myself. :-))))))))

OK, that is too cute, Tessa. I love the colors, perfect for spring. I smiled when you talked about your grandchildren in high school playing sports. I have seen my share of sports through the years, and a bag like this would have been nice to carry around. And I am lovin' that Gibson Girl fabric too. I wonder if they still sell that? You did a fantastic job on your "Nana bag," Tessa.

A nana bag, for grandchildren's necessities, love that.
And love the pretty bag too. Well done you.
Just love the colours in that fabric.
We all need a 'Nana Bag' to carry all the essentials.
Enjoy the remainder of the week - don't they go quickly!
All the best Jan
I'm also a Nana and i know how important the Nana bag is! I like your pretty new bag's fabric and size.
I love it! Well done! The Nana bag- special. I remember my nan having a nana apron with a big pocket full of all things handy.
Love it.
The fabric is great.

Tessa, you did a beautiful job on your Nana bag! I love that you carry chocolate for the grands! The fabric you chose for your new bag is lovely. ♥
How perfect and happy this is Tessa! I love the idea of a "Nana Bag!" I think I may have to be a copycat on this one! Just darling!!!
So clever of you to not only have a nana bag but to make it as well. Your grands can count on you! Well done, Tessa.
Nice job, Tessa. I love the fabric and the size is just right. How sweet of you to call it your "Nana Bag". And for good reason. I've been thinking about making a bag for a friend. Your post is inspiring. Hugs, Nancy
Looks fabulous to me. I never learned to sew properly but wish I had. So many things I could be making. But then again, there's so many crafty things I want to do and never get to half of them. I always have a purse and tote with me -- water, crochet supplies, snacks. Grown up necessities. :) Have a good weekend.
