Oh yes, I bagged it :D

A couple of days ago I posted about a challenge I recently found, called Bag It!  Patty from Elm Street Quilts is running it - basically, we create and share bags that we've made (between Nov. 2 and Dec. 14).  This one definitely has my name written all over it, LOL.

Here are several of the bags I've made since November 2 - my first entries for Bag It! :)  I've actually finished several more but I try to do them in sets so when the set is finished, I'll take pictures :D

This is the one I started on Saturday - I like to call it my "I'm not a  hot pad! birdy pouch", as this is Crafty Staci's August hot pad of the month, in zippy form :D  This was a new to me project, and I'm very pleased with how she turned out :)

Here's beaded butterfly pouch #2 - I posted the first one on November 3, and got this one finished a couple of days ago.  I wish I was able to get close-up photos of the beading, but I don't have a great camera.  I used clear and turquoise beads on some of the butterfly spots - it does look sweet, IIDSSM!


 Here are the two bags, side by side - both are Christmas gifts :)

This is a pattern I did once or twice a while ago, and decided to revisit for this challenge.   I forgot that this is a bag better suited to non-directional fabrics - my scotties on the back are upside-down, and then, while that goof was fresh in my mind, I cut out two more bags ...with directional fabrics as well, lol.  Hopefully I won't make that mistake a 4th time :D


 And here are the bags I worked up this morning - they were inspired by this post, and I've already made one (that I can recall!) :D  I thought it was a good one to do for the challenge!

Here's the back of the bags :)   6 bags so far - the counselling center is going to score big-time after this challenge!






The hot pad zipper bag will be posted to Celtic Thistle Stitches' [hi, Fiona - Novelty Pouch Factory signing in, LOL!!] New New To Me linky party for November  :)

  2. I had a comment all typed up and lost it. I HATE THAT! I love the bluebird hot pad cum zipper pouch. I need a tutorial! I tried enlarge your photo to see the bling on the butterflies, but it just won't show up. I am just gonna have to use my imagination! Wonky bird corners are cool, too.

  3. I find that handphone cameras are great for taking close ups, way better than my dslr camera because my camera doesn't have a macro lens. I usually don't give unsolicited advice but.... you can easily fix your directional print problem by cutting a bottom seam in that scotty pouch. That way you can place your fabric the right side up.

  6. I love this Sandra! Turning the hot pad into a zippered bag was brilliant. I agree with your friend - I'd love to see the bunny next! :-)

  7. I would find it a challenge to make 1% of your projects! Perhaps you should be looking for sponsorship :)
