Thanks so much to everyone who joined me and to Emmaline Bags for offering up prizes and a discount. 

Here are some entries from readers who completed their Castell during the Sew Along:

​Dot used a mix of neutrals to create a gorgeous elegant beauty.

Roxanne’s contrast stitching and snappy edge clasp balance out the browns in this bag perfectly.

I love the detail Tara added to the pocket flap, and the contrast in the casing and zipper!

Dot, Roxanne and Tara each won an Emmaline Bags credit: have fun shopping for bling ladies! You can search #CastellDayBag on Instagram for more inspiration.
