I was visiting Cole's corner blog at
http://www.coles-corner-and-creations.com/search/label/bags and loved the bag she made so I hop on over to
http://www.picklepiedesigns.com/items/boutique_zipper_case_~amp_fanny_pack_set.aspx and found and purchased the bag that would fit in my hoop. I liked the long one but my hoop wasn't big enough, so I settle for 5x7 hooped bag. I made two, one for my younger granddaughter who just turn 9 and one for the older granddaughter(their birthdays are two weeks apart) but the second one I made came out better. I guess practice makes perfect ! I would like to make a few more.
It called for batting in the instructions, but I decided to do this one with just two interfacings in with the front and back pieces of the bag to reduce the bulk. and I type tags for each piece to easily identify as I went through instructions. I made the one below for my older granddaughter who just turned 17. She is into the black color and lined it with cupcake print fabric. All sewing supplies were purchase at Joannes fabric store. I think I will make myself one next. It will have to have some pink on it.
As you can see I finally got mine finish which is the pink and black bag below. I just love the way it turned out.
Darlenes purse
Sarahs purse which was the first one I made.
Thank you for visiting and have a great week!
