Cutting Board Bag

This project was definitely an evolution, starting out being something for this and finishing up, still as a something for "this" but it turned out to be bigger than Ben Hur for what the project called for. Oooh! Bad English there! Apologies...

I cut a board (of thin wood) on which my large cutting map could sit, as I cut on our Dining Room table, so that if I cut beyond the mat, the rotary cutter would not cut into the table itself!

So far, so good! So the board was prepared and bound with tape to prevent splinter accidents happening. But how to store said piece of wood? And maybe the cutting mat as well.

Ah! Of course, make a bag for them! So bag was duly made, complete with a handle. Oooh! the front looks a bit bland - let's make a pocket for whatever. And then let's put an appliqué on the pocket. What though? Why not an "M" for Maggie? And so you're getting the picture of how this once simple project started evolving into something which was bigger than the original plan...

And so herewith, is said carry bag...
