Charlie's Changing Bag

I finally finished Charlie's bag. It has turned out ok but I wish that I had added padding all the way round. The sides are a bit floppy. I might re-do the sides if I get time. I pleased with how the handle turned out as this is the first time I used rectangle rings and a slider. It means that we can either carry the bag or hang it on the buggy. I quilted a few stars onto the front but you can really see them. I should have used a brighter coloured thread. If I take the bag apart again I will sort out the quitling. The bag is bunged already with all of Charlie's bits and pieces.

Bag Making Marathon Take 2!

I managed to finish the bag I started at the course and have started Charlie's baby bag! I'm pleased with how my first quilted bag turned out. There's not too much quilting, just a little around some of the circles. If I was doing it again I think that I would add more.



Charlie's bag is coming along. The brown star fabric is the outside along with a blue spotted front and sides. The green spotted fabric is the inside lining. I'm going to add a few pockets for bits and pieces. I am using a pattern from 'Sew Many Bags, Sew Little Time" which has quite a few nice simple patterns.

Bag Making Overload!

I am on a bag making marathon! I was at a bag making class yesterday, which I really enjoyed. I didn't get my new bag finished so I had to complete it tonight. Got that done and then have started making Charlie's new baby bag. It won't take long to make, it's just getting the time at the moment! Hoepfully I'll get it done tomorrow night.

I'm also going to the hairdressers tomorrow to get a long needed injection of style into my hair.I can't wait! It's got so long and it now takes forever to dry. Hopefully a chop will sort that out!

Bags, Bags, Bags




This is the first bag I made using a pattern from a magazine. I made a few since and have also used a pattern from BurdaSytle.com which is a great website offering loads of free patterns.


To date I've made about 6 bags and I have lots of funky fabric waiting to be turned in more bags!
