Marie Antoinette patchwork bag

Started work on a new bag project yesterday. Managed to get some free fabric when buying some other bits at a charity shop and the colours and different kinds of sheen are just the most perfect combination, they had to become a patchwork bag! Both are short little offcuts, one from an old skirt lining and the other a stiff cotton-mix fabric. The colours together reminded me immediately of Sofia Coppola's 'Marie Antoinette'.

 There is something so satisfying about scanning in fabric! I'm not sure how big my bag is going to get but I do need a new large-ish shoulder bag... This is the second patchwork bag I've attempted, my other one is a smaller one made out of an old silk scarf I was given and it now stores some of my more delicate sewing projects.
