This is the sari bangle bag i made for my AS Level technology project (yr12). yeah i was feeling lazy and wanted to make something easy peasy and i thought it was gona be just 2 peices of fabric but it wasnt quite as simple as that, but fairly straightforward nonetheless
.
I used a purple see through organza sari (to which i added beads), under it i layered (the end of) a navy polyester sari with yellowgold embroidery. the lining was the the main body of the sari which was plain navy.
In hindsight i think i should have used the purple sari on the top of the lining (or maybe just something else soft and plain lilac(?) so it would be more inconspicuous and professional looking.
I flipped the top edges through the bangles and hand stitched them down to create the handles, being careful i didnt stitch through the purple layer, so it wouldnt show on the front.
Once again though, i realised afterwards, it would have been good idea to have sewn in the bangles within the front layers and the lining, to give a more professional finish.
I also wanted more Indian-y bangles but there arent any desi shops near where i live so i couldnt find any in time.
But i'm really pleased with how it came out though (alhamdulillah), because it was a kind of rushed project. (and my teachers totally sucked
)
