JUST ROLL WITH IT

I made my second Clam Up bag and it went much more smoothly!

Until I zipped it up and realized a huge mistake!  See it?!

There was nothing for it but to make another one 

with the right side out!!!!

 

CLAM UP!

Another clam bag--this one with a pattern from  ByAnnie.com in the XL size.  I bought this fabric because of the joy of the flamingo and palm trees in a pastel!  I also bought a print in darker colors which I will be making today!

Love the lining!  

 

SHE'S SLOW

I was able to finish the quilt for the QOV group. 

 It is 70" x 80" after washing/drying.

I had the urge to make a little 'clam' shaped bag for my purse so things don't rattle around.  I drew it to fit the zipper I had 

and to be a good size to fit in the purse!  

It is 10" x 7" high and 3" wide.  Just the quick project I needed!

(I used fusible fleece to give it 'body'!)

Project Bag

 I had an hour in the sewing room 

so I thought to make one of my sweater sized project bags;  16" x 14" .

I  added a matching notions bag later in the day.

I think my Mom will enjoy having this set to take back to NY with her;

the departure day is fast approaching, unfortunately.

CopyCat II

 Gifted bag number two;  what a great way to use those old dresser scarves you can't bear to part with but are useless as they are!  

 The bag was about 12" tall and 10' wide with boxed corners-very straight forward as far as a pattern goes and so much simpler to copy!

The lining on this bag was very reminiscent of a picnic to me!

 Here is my version!  I added a handle on the side and my tag on the other!

 The pretty baskets had to be way down on the bag because it was scalloped 

and I had to square it up;

it worked out just fine.

I put a small print blue and white cotton for the lining!

Nothing like a little bit of inspiration to set the creative juices going!

I don't know about you but I have a pile of old linens to re-purpose this way!

And I think the smaller ones will get pieced together on a piece of muslin

so I can then cut the pattern pieces out from that!
