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 :) |
Ooh he's so cute!!!!! What a fun thing to make!
ReplyDeleteThose 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 ;-)
ReplyDeleteBet you find your box of hardware when you get home! The monster is coming along very nicely with his cross eyed look.
ReplyDeleteMonster bags RULE~ Those Halloween bags are fab too :) LOL at Pam, she's right, you will find the box when you get home, it's Murphy's Law!! Hugs, Mickie
ReplyDeleteIt would make a nice library bag for a little one. Seems just the right size for dragging home some books.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeletethat monster back pack is just fab! I think I'd wear one... noone ever accused me of being "stylish"!
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I have been neglecting my blog reading and I'm missing out on so much stuff!
