They call me Bruce!

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.

 

This is the Bruce that I made for my Schnitzel & Boo swap partner.

 

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.



A ladder of Bruces!

 

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!!
