Progress on the monster bag :)

Progress on the monster backpack - I gave him arms and legs (using the lining fabric), and got the strap holders basted on. I can't find my box of hardware so I need to go to the fabric store to get D-rings and strap holder thingies. The bag doesn't have a gusset - I wouldn't even technically call it a backpack - it's more a flat bag that can be worn like a backpack. Once the straps and hardware are installed, I can just add the lined back and the bag will be finished, with no raw edges (I'm doing the assembly the same way I do Kristin Link's front zip pouches).  Home stretch, baby!  :D

Here are a few Halloween bags I made for some kids I know.  I had fun using up some of my cute Halloween prints, and doing the Halloween appliques :D

Measuring tape bags (top, 4.5" x 8") and quilted appliqued ghost bag (8" x 8") :)
3 little Halloween zippies - about 4" each :)

  2. Those Halloween bags are really lovely and they've got nice shapes ! The monster bag will be terrific too ! You're absolutely a busy bee. Thanks for your lovely comment on my 'Kleermuis' (which means a bat with clothes on - a bat is 'vleermuis' ). I think it isn't always easy to understand the word games in Dutch ;-)

  3. Bet you find your box of hardware when you get home! The monster is coming along very nicely with his cross eyed look.

  5. It would make a nice library bag for a little one. Seems just the right size for dragging home some books.

  6. I love your fun bags especially the monster one. Like Pam said they'll turn up when you get home with the new lot but in the meantime it's a good excuse for buying more and maybe even slipping a few more things into the shopping basket. LOLL
