Well, today was the first day it actually felt like fall. We have had 80-90 degree heat nearly everyday since early July. But today was remarkably different...brisk air, slightly overcast sky, and leaves rustling in a swift breeze.I knew it (cooler weather) had to happen eventually, so this past weekend I set out to make myself a new bag for the autumn season. I had just received this fabulous green print from fabric.com, and when I saw it next to the vintage embroidered trim (that was still out from the previous blog-post photoshoot) I knew they were meant for each other.
As you can see in the photo above, the trim by itself is just ok...eh, kind of flat.
So I layered it on top of a wide white grosgrain ribbon. Much better. :) 
A simple twill lining and divided pocket finish out the interior.
What are you sewing up this fall?

Thanks for stopping by my blog, and leaving such a sweet comment. I'm adding you to my sidebar. Love all your vintage awesomeness on your blog. Yes-your blog is perfect for my pink theme. If you want to link to my pink post, that would be great! Hey-I'm all about eating pink m & m's! A girl can't have too much chocolate!
Oh, how pretty! And the setting is just lovely.
I love this bag! It looks very fall-ish, but it is still nice and colorful. You are right about the trim, the white ribbon made all the difference!
That looks great!
I know you'll enjoy it!!

It's gorgeous-the trim looks so lovely over the grosgain ribbon!
So fun! I'm sewing nothin'. I can't sew worth a hill of beans! I do want to start playing around with it more. Right now I'm learning to crochet so I'm figuring sewing will be next on the list!

Love that bag.
Your bag is really cute! I don't sew a lick, or is that a stitch?
I have other talents though.

Sewing? Ah, nothing! Just looking at you crafty gals you can whip up something so darn cute!
I was laughing about your post earlier, with the reference to Puff N' Stuff. That brought back memories I rarely access! :-0 Thanks for the chuckle!

What a gorgeous bag! I'm not sure that I am going to have the time to do much sewing this winter, but I would love to make some of the stunning Christmas craft ideas that I have come across recently...maybe next year.

Wonderful Bag! That fabric looks like linen to me, which is my fave of course.
Beautiful fabric for your fall bag. Love the trim - just suits perfectly!
Your tote is beautiful and that trim is perfect for that fabric. You have a great eye!
So cute! What pattern did you use? I love what you did with the trim. Very nice. ~A :-)
Hi Angela,
No pattern. I just kinda wing it. LOL

I love the bag- and the pond!
What a beautiful bag. I'm a fabric.com shopper, too. I love their fabrics.
Fall is definitely here. It was around 20 degrees this morning at 6am. I'm just not ready for the very cold weather. I hated "dead" stuff!!!!
Beautiful bag :)
Wow! I love this bag!
