Sailcloth bag for Nienke

I made another sailcloth bag for a dear family friend's birthday.

My mom and I dyed the sailcloth fabric with cyanotype the weekend before. First, I was skeptical about dying the fabric, but I am very happy with the result. It would be a lot of fun to try something like this again, perhaps with another dye. Especially some natural dyes, but I think the synthetic sailcloth fabric may not play well with that.

The lower part of a bag on my sewing machine table. The fabric is a nice grey-blue dyed sailcloth with large white dots on the upper section of the bag.
