Canvas Carry Bag, $30, from Catherine Manuell Design, 59 High Street Northcpte. Tel: 9482 4877.
You know when you see something sometimes and you think, “I could’ve done that”? My sister knows. My sister is very crafty. Not in a “ooh she’s sneaky, that crafty witch” kind of way, but in a Tonya Todman “ooh, I think I’ll make that into something really good one day” kind of way. Yet, like the rest of us, she rarely does. She has oodles of doilies and bamboo handles and empty picture frames crying out to be transformed into a masterpiece and you just know that they will always just be a pile of doilies and a bunch of old frames.
Well, Catherine Manuell gets the job done. She actually takes the fabric and makes the bag you wish you made and doesn’t charge a fortune, so, dear sister, take heed and either start sewing or just buy one of these.
