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
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 :)
You are doing great! Love all these bags but those owl ones are really, really cute!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteThose wonky owls are brilliant Sandra!
ReplyDeleteI seriously don't think you have time to sleep!!! They all look fabulous.

DeleteI 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! :-)
ReplyDeleteI would find it a challenge to make 1% of your projects! Perhaps you should be looking for sponsorship :)
ReplyDeleteGreat projects - I really love the owls!
ReplyDeletethose birdie pouches are hilarious! Love them
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I love the birdy bag, how cute and I love that it's not a hot pad, lol!!! Your butterfly bags look gorgeous, and those googly eyed birdies are a delight - yes, I think this challenge is right up your alley!
ReplyDeleteWow Sandra, your bags are wonderful !! The birdie bag is amazing, what a brilliant idea to make a zippered bag of it. I love it very much and the owl pouches are so lovely as well.
ReplyDeleteYour bags are fabulous, Sandra!!! All of them!!
