Sewing Project

1st August 2007

posted in sewing |

Since purchasing my new Viking sewing machine last summer, I’ve made quite a few bags for various people. Most of the bags have been given as gifts, although I have sold a couple of them and made a couple special orders. I’ve always visited quilt stores with my mom who is a fabulous quilter, but I’ve never learned how to do that. I’ve always enjoyed looking at all the beautiful fabrics though when I go with her and had a desire to do something, just didn’t know what. Once day last summer, we were in a wonderful quilt shop in Lockport, IL and I found a fairly simple pattern for a bag and I was off! I had finally found a reason for myself to purchase some of that beautiful fabric.

This is a bag I actually made from fabric my sister purchased in a quilt shop in North Carolina. She is giving the bag as a gift to a friend suffering from cancer. Normally the pockets are on the outside of the bag, but I couldn’t bring myself to cover up the fabulous print on this fabric, so I reversed the pattern and put the pockets on the inside.

tHAT IS SO cool. I wish I had the patience to learn how to sew. I can barely sew on a button to a shirt!

I think I actually learned how to sew years ago when they still had sewing class in Jr. High. It helped that I have a Mom who sews too.

Hi Lynne, This bag is so beautiful and I love the fabric. I can understand why you would put the pockets on the inside. I have really gotten interested in Quilting since your mom moved here. She is a really neat lady. I like your blog and the puppy is sooooo cute. Thanks for visiting my site and leaving comments.

Hi Tina!
I made my first quilt in June under the watchful eye of my mom! I’ll have to take a picture and get it posted. I hear you hit the scrapbook store over the weekend! Thanks for visiting my blog, what has Karen gotten us in to?
