I often make my own bread - the bread machine does the hard work. I tend to use it on dough setting so I can shape and bake the loaf myself. If I bake the loaf in the evening, I usually wrap a clean dish towel around the bread before I go to bed. So I thought, well why not just make a bread bag out of a nice dish towel. I chain stitched the letters onto it, and found a toggle from an old jacket and used a shoelace for a cord. Not the best photo I know , but my regular photographer (older daughter) is busy doing lots of studying for exams right now. Now I'm thinking I need to make another bag for when the bread is nearly gone, I could embroider it with Not Quite So Fresh Bread! I think I'm only half kidding here! (The vintage bread knife was in a box of junk from my local auction - £1 for the box!)
Somebody was trying really hard to get into the bread bag picture.

I amire you. I often wish i could do bread making or be able to do creative stuff around the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteMy son, an ex-Royal Marine Commando, is an excellent cokk, as is his mother but I am at best okay.
Thanks CJ. I'm sure with the aid of a bread machine, you'd make great bread. It ain't rocket science.
ReplyDeleteNever too late to do some experimenting in the kitchen!! Sometimes people don't know all the hidden talents they have. Maybe you are one of them?
ooh, yum, fresh bread, it is on our list of to do's this year, to get bread maker. Love your creations, especially love the butterfly brooch, it must have taken ages to make.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea! There are some lovely teatowels about, I often cut them up and use them to make something else! x
ReplyDeleteThat little darlin is just precious!...I loved your bread bag idea. That came out really well!
ReplyDeleteI got a machine this past Christmas, (my second, and I never even opened my first from 10 years ago!) This machine was part of my son's gift, so I will be using it soon...I may have to make one of your bread bags! Hugs, Paulette :)
Thanks everyone!
ReplyDeletePaulette, I can't wait to see what you make with your machine!!
I quite often bake bread there's nothing quite like the smell of freshly cooked bread.
ReplyDeleteI love the bag great idea.
Excellent idea! I think you are brilliant and will keep my eye on your blog. :-)
ReplyDeleteA bread bag sounds like a good idea. How long does the bread keep in there?
ReplyDeleteShirley homemade bread keeps for a good few days in the bag. A bought loaf doesn't tend to keep so well.
