Lazies, Today we have Margo dressed in ‘Poppy Lane’ by Alice Kennedy for Timeless Treasures. I love Alice’s style. I used her black/limey green ‘Kiwi’ line on our City Bag pattern cover recently. Alice – keep ‘em comin’! Coincidentally, I have an Alice Kennedy on a branch of my family tree. Back to the Margo Handbag (LGD127), I could not resist this beautiful feature fabric. It’s perfect accented by the small red/white dot behind the pockets.

I chose a cute newsprint style piece for the lining, giving the inside of the bag plenty of brightness. A fabulous Atom Red zip from Coats & Clark matched beautifully! I rounded out the inside with a companion red/white poppy print for the pockets and small red/white dot for the Bag-E-Bottom sleeve. I chose black thread for all of the stitching.
