I made this simple bag this week, since I wanted one to just carry my cell phone and wallet. I have been using my diaper bag as my purse for the longest time, so change is needed!
I based this bag on this bag at kirsten*can .
I will be participating the the Friday Night Sew In tonight. Yesterday, I ironed all of my half square triangles, 256 of them, for my pinwheel quilt. Does that count as a finish? And in the process, I think I killed my iron. No, I'm serious. I need to buy a new one quick. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of buying the cheapest one from Walmart to hold me over.
This week will be busy. I will get on that tutorial for that basket from last week. I'm so wowwed you all like it! I'm experimenting with the best interfacing now. Jess' going to home for vacation soon, so I can finally get some babysitting to finish quilting my Spring Magic Coin Quilt for Zoe. Anna and I will be going to Desert Quilters of Nevada Quilt Show on Saturday. I'll be sure to share some pictures next week. I'll get some girly time with her, and I am sure to be inspired. Although, this week my little man was spreading out his lovey baby blanket out on the floor and declared himself to be quilting. :)
Thanks so much for the heartfelt advice last week. You're awesome. I am using all of it.
So go visit Sew and Tell. There are more talented and crafty people than me out there.
Love it! This is super cute! great bag and great choice of button.
ReplyDeleteI love that little handstitching around the top! So sweet. I used to have a little box of buttons from my great grandfathers drug store. I don't know what has happened to them.... you've inspired me to go dig them out.
ReplyDeletenice and I agree, the top stitching is nice. It gives it a sweet little finish to go with the button.

ReplyDeletelove, love, love your bag!! the handstitching adds the perfect touch!
ReplyDeleteVery cute little bag. I love the simplicity. The gingham and linen work very well together and your grandmother's button makes it so special!
ReplyDeleteYour blog has the right name! I feel "so happy" seeing all the great things you make. Your bag in this post is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking of making something similar but a bit bigger to be my new library bag. The flap will protect the books if its starts raining going to or from the library.
Your inspiration to me is to "keep it simple" because your bag definitely works with the linen and gingham lining.
Cute bag! My mom has a super cheap iron from Walmart and we both love it . . . it doesn't have the auto-shutoff function, which is really handy for long sewing sessions! I'm forever getting up to turn mine back on.
ReplyDeleteit turned out great!
ReplyDeleteGreat bag!! Really cool.
ReplyDeleteThat bag is so sweet and simple! I love it!
