Tackle It Tuesday

29th April 2008

posted in sewing |

After staying away from my sewing machine for over a week, (this is a long time when sewing is an addiction), I got back in there and finished sewing a bag that I had started 3 weeks earlier.

This is a charm bag with ragged edges. The front is made from 5 inch square fabric charms sewn together with wrong sides together so that the edges are ragged instead. I also used the 5 inch squares to form 2 interior pockets. The lining and back fabric are a coordinating color as are the handles which are reinforced with batting for shoulder comfort. The bag has been quilted.

This bag is a great tote bag and is for sale for $30.

If you’ve tackle something this week, why not join 5 Minutes for Mom and Tackle it Tuesday?

I LOVE the bag. I would love to purchase it! Does it happen to have anything to close it? I would want to use it as a pseudo diaper bag.
Do you accept PayPal?

This is a really nice and well made bag. The square fabric charms you have chosen goes really well together
It also looks like you can put a lot of stuff inside this bag.

Caroline - Yes, I accept paypal. The bag currently doesn’t have any type of closure, but if you like, I can probably add a fabric loop and button closure to it. Let me know!

Wow, you have sewn so many pretty bags. I guess your new toys (sewing machines) make sewing more enjoyable.
