Daisy, Daisy...

A year ago, I was on holiday in Scotland, and I had a disastrous fall. As well as smashing up my teeth and face, my bag also got damaged. I was a quite upset- it had been a birthday gift from Liz, and I'd only had it for a few weeks. It's a neat little Uniqlo banana bag, made of nylon. It's ideal for holidays - cross-body style it holds a surprising amount.

But it had half a dozen small holes and done larger ones, from where it hit the gravel.

I thought I should repair if before the Paris trip. Sunday afternoon I sat and sewed, whilst watching a fascinating film about actress Dame Margaret Rutherford. 

An invisible mend seemed impossible - so I decided to make it bright and beautiful.

First I stitched the holes together with blue thread.

Then I stitched lazy daisies over them

Finally I sprinkled some silver sequins around the flowers. 

Smart enough for the Champs Elysee, do you think?
