Sewing Project - Bag/Purse

Hi There!  I've been working on one of my craft swap projects.  One of my ladies loves paisley. I fell in love with this remnant with a paisley pattern. Here's a sneak peak on how the project is turning out!  I hope she loves it!

I installed these grommets yesterday!  Never used them before!  I followed the directions, was kinda nervous!  It turned out awesome!  (Sorry no picture yet of them installed!)

The pattern I followed didn't have a pocket on the inside.  I made my own.

I have two of these handles to make.  It's quite time consuming. I have one left to finish.  Hopefully it will be done soon so I can sew the handles onto the bag! (The white fabric has paisley print too!)

Here's a peek at what the outside of the bag looks like!  This is about where I stopped following the pattern and did my own thing.  I really hope my craft receiver loves it!

I'm going to finish this up today and post pictures of it tomorrow!  I was just so excited to share it with you, I had to post!!

See you tomorrow with pictures of completion of the bag!!

Orange Bag

I've been busy crafting away and looking for some really good deals on fabric.  Here's something I sewed up recently with some fabric remnants I bought at Walmart.  The light orange with small white flowers and the quilted lining fleece I already had.  The big white flowers on the main body and the dark orange lining fabric cost me less than 3 bucks! Wahooo, I love a good deal!

This pattern came from online. The bag was fairly easy to make and didn't take a lot of time.  I did the handles a bit different than theirs and didn't round the corners as much as their pattern. I used a quilt lining fleece that I had instead of their regular interfacing.  Here's the site where you can find the tutorial of how to make it found here. I love their green colors!

Okay I hope you crafters out there have recovered from the big Super Bowl game and that your team won!  Let's craft up a storm this week!

What are you going to craft this week?
