In the sunny days of summer, I carry my parasol with me everywhere. It's very old and I don't want it to break (it's already needed quite a bit of TLC). So I made it a carrying bag! :D
Here's the new bag with my folding parasol!





I used black micro suede and a red, black, and gold chinese brocade scrap. :) It's all hand stitched too. I did it this afternoon on the couch while watching cartoons. :) I didn't use a pattern (I don't know how to read those yet), so I'm particularly proud of how it came out - including the draw string action! :D YEAH!
