Bloomin Flowering Stitchery Bag

Last Post re bag

Last week I posted on my blog a bag that I have just finished. On Friday I found at the local newsagency a new mazagine with the pattern for the Roomy Craft Tote.
Country Patchwork Vol 9 no4. has the bag on the front cover.

Tote Bag

One more wip finished as of last friday night. This bag is big enough for all my quilting things for when I go to patchwork on Wednesdays.

I have added a fassy cut peice of the fabric to the front pocket as you can see in the close up photo.

The Roomy Craft Tote bag pattern is in Australian Patchwork & Stitching magazine Vo.8. no. 11 by Leanne Valiukas

WIP's

Here are the finished panels for the bag that was in a earlier post. Just have to fine the time to make the bag and all the other UFO's!!!!!

Oh me!!!!!

My Dilly Bag finished

My Dilly bag is now finished one less UFO sitting around my sewing room. Now onto the next bag!!!!!!

I took the bag to patchwork today and all the ladies love the it and wanted to make it now.

Look what happens when they see the finished item.

As you can see from the last post about this project I have added lace to the front panel. I was not happy with any of the laces I had so out came the little dye bottles and the reverse stitching tool to add the lace and I am now happy.

What have I been doing craft wise

This is a little bag when finished is for taking my cup and plate set to craft for morning tea.

The bag pattern was in Homemade mag last years Mothers Edition.

Day Out Dilly Bag by Judith Tetley.

Christmas Presents finished.

These two bags are presents for Christmas for friends and I have just finished them.

I am so glad with the bags they turned out great and I hope they like them.

All the presents are now wrapped and wanting for Christmas Day.

Tote Bag Finished.

I have been busy the last few weeks so haven't posted.

The tote bag is now finished and I have posted a photo. The bag is great when I go to craft just the right size.

I have added a second photo that is a little easier to open.

My DS2 and I when shopping today and my bag came with us and it was very handy. DS2 has finished his Tafe course and needed a suit for job interviews and I tried to finish my Christmas shopping no luck.

Craft group work.

Work in progress is my new bag that we started last week at my craft group. The bag starts with 12 x 6" charms squares or any 3" scraps. The small bag uses 5" squares.

I have a small collection of Asian Fabric so there was no problem finding an assortment of fabrics for this bag. I had the background fabric as well so this bag is cost free except for the fusible Pellon. The next step is to do the bias strips. What fun!!!!!!! The bag pattern is again in Patchwork & Stitching mag and is called Latticed Totes vol. 7 no. 11. Will posted photo of bag when finished and maybe some of the other ladies bags too.

Making Bags.

I have made this bag a few times before but this is my one to keep. The pattern is in one of the Aussie Mag called Patchwork and Stitching. The bag is very easy to make with 22 charm squares. I have made this bag with 5" squares but any size is OK. Last year for our Craft group stall at the Church Fete I made 4 1/2" square bags and one little one with 2 1/2" squares.

The photo of the three bags are some of the bags I made last year for the stall including the little Perfect Patches bag.
