Thanks so much to everyone who joined me and to Emmaline Bags for offering up prizes and a discount.
Here are some entries from readers who completed their Castell during the Sew Along:
Dot used a mix of neutrals to create a gorgeous elegant beauty.
Roxanne’s contrast stitching and snappy edge clasp balance out the browns in this bag perfectly.
I love the detail Tara added to the pocket flap, and the contrast in the casing and zipper!
Dot, Roxanne and Tara each won an Emmaline Bags credit: have fun shopping for bling ladies! You can search #CastellDayBag on Instagram for more inspiration.
I hope you enjoyed this set of Sew Along posts. Let me know in comments or email what you’d like to see more of on this blog. Stay tuned for a fun round-up.
