I love green. In all its forms: pure, fresh lime-green and dark, lush leaf-green, like the grapevines spreading across our back wall. I've made some green things for my shop update this week: a sashiko-quilted purse made from a very old piece of Japanese kimono fabric: light green with black running stitches and a wool layer inside. And a green satchel made entirely from recycled textiles: wool, cotton and a leather strap. The bag is quite simple, forest-inspired, and can be closed with brown cotton tape.
