Meet Bruce...
No, not THAT Bruce, THIS Bruce,
Bruce is a funky little crafty carrier designed by the super dooper talented Australian designer - Jodie Carleton of Ric Rac. Bruce has pockets back and front and enough room for a project or two. He carries everything and you will never hear a word of complaint. Every girl needs a Bruce in their lives!

This is my personal Bruce. He sits next to my chair and looks after my hand sewing equipment. |

Here are some Tula Pink Bruces that I made for Ashleigh & Julie. |

Bruce comes in many colours. The pink Bruce was part of the prize for my "1000 Followers" giveaway & the orange Bruce was for Cassie. |

Greenie the Bilby likes Bruce's buttons and often "minds" them for me whilst a Bruce is in construction. He is especially fond of the green ones as they remind him of his Aunty Alison. |

Carol's Bruce |
Go on, you know you want to make one too. Bruce is an easy pattern to make. He only uses 2 fat quarters, some interfacing, 55" of binding and a self covered button. Just watch that Greenie the Bilby doesn't run off with the button, he's lightning fast!!
