Sewing Project

posted in sewing |

I have finally started a new sewing project. I’m making a bag by using fabric charms (5 inch square pieces of fabric). This is the second bag of this style I’ve made. The first came together fairly quickly, no thanks to the horrible directions that came with the pattern. I just spent almost an hour laying out charms to come up with a set of 17 squares that I like together. I also had to make sure that I had enough coordinating fabric to for the back of the bag and lining. I’ve ironed all the fabric, laid out the front of the bag and now am ready to begin sewing. I want to rewrite the directions as I go, so that will slow me down a bit, but it shouldn’t be too long before I have a finished bag.

This is a picture of the fabric charms I have laid out, the beginning of the bag.

    That’s beautiful fabric. I would love to learn how to make a quilt. My Great Grandmother quilted and I never got a chance to learn from her.

    Thanks Sassy! My mom is a quilter so I pick up a few tips from her. I haven’t quilted anything bigger than a baby quilt. I enjoy making bags and crafts myself.

    Grace – I did work on it today! I got it sewn together and ready to put the binding onto it. Then it will just need straps and it’ll be done! :-D
