The Fortuitous House of Holland

This is my new fabric drying on the line

I bought it at an op-shop on Saturday, just because I loved the slightly fluorescent orange and pink checks (which you don't quite see here). It's a high content polyester blend, not my cup of tea really, but I thought it would be a pretty fabric to make bags with and I took all 7m of it, which was 8€.

While the fabric was drying, I was doing some research for another project and I fortuitously saw the House of Holland website (go to AW11). I wonder why I now really want a little checkered coat with a bright colored contrasting collar.

But hey, will you look at that? Doesn't this bag remind you of a bag I made in the spring?
