Since January, I have been doing a lot of craft sewing, and some quilting. Along with working full time and spending weekends with my college kids who come home. Who knew that when I began quilting that it would lead to me becoming a "bag lady"? It seems that I just can't do enough tote bags, cosmetic sized bags, and purses. Every time one is finished, an idea strikes for another. Here are my finishes for January - June.
Next came a set for a colleague from work who was retiring.
Then a cosmetic bag for a friend going on vacation.......
And finally, a purse for myself that was an experimental variation from a well used pattern. Please excuse the junky cellphone picture.
In between these bag projects, a friend and I took a class at my local quilt shop for a Kaffe Fassett designed quilt, and also used mostly his fabric for the centers. Here it is in the flimsy stage.
All in all, a good start for the first half of 2013!
Cool! I like the first one with the 'crazy string' pattern. That's a good size. I have a hemp canvas messenger bag that's about that size. The funny thing about bags is that no matter what size you make them, you always manage to fill them up!
