Tote Bag

Had to be really careful about the copyright - no Olympic Rings, etc.
which is why I used the balloons! Wouldn't think anyone would bother
about the rings where you are though - here even a local flower shop who
was going to have a window display for the Olympics was stopped from
using her rings - they are being really tight about it here. Apparently
a big national Guild of Cake Decorators planned a competition for the
Olympics but found they couldn't use any of the motifs connected with
the Games.

Thank you, I know my little friend is going to like it. Thanks also for the
advice re copyright and tips in making the bag.

Of course - the figures were quite easy and there are lots of the
silhouettes on all the Olympic sites, though I took 3 of mine from a
wall-hanging project in a magazine to avoid copyright issues. The diving
one I did from scratch which explains its short legs! I lined bag with
clear plastic over the blue water lining fabric so its a swimming bag.

make an Olympic bag for a young friend?

Colours are just perfect.

Got the 'Olympics 2012' Tote Bag I entered for the WI competition in our
County Show back yesterday and have just got round to taking its photo.
It
had to show at least one sport so I chose Swimming which has 4 sections.
The criticism card said 'An attractive and practical bag - good use of
coloured fabrics and well stitched. Pale fabrics not too suitable for
wear'. I am still puzzling over the final sentence as I sit here in my
white tee shirt and blue and white skirt. Dare I be seen in public!

I love the design you came up with - and the balloons are a very clever
way of saying "Olympics" without using the rings!
