The Sewing Mom

My sisters have been so busy lately I just don’t know when they’re finding the time to create all these beautiful bags, but here is yet another one.

In the past few weeks they’ve both spent weekends in Nashville and another in Louisville and yet, I’ve lost count of the number of completed purses and tote bags they’ve made. In fact, they’ve been sending me so many photos, I lost track of which one made this beautiful black and white bag that includes tons of interior pockets and a top zipper closure.

I do know this bag is for sale if anyone is interested!

I love this fabric with all of the hearts and it so reminds me of Valentine’s Day! I made this bag using 100% quilt quality cotton fabric from Moda. The finished tote bag measures approximately 12″x12″x5″. The large sized tote and handles have an innerlining of polyester batting for added comfort and support. There are also two matching fabric covered buttons on both front and back of the bag.

This bag is on sale for $30 with free shipping to the U.S. and Canada. Shipping to other locations is available at a small fee, depending on your location. If interested, please leave a comment or contact me at nlynnect (at) aol (dot) com.

I just have to share this with you. My sister Karen just completed this bag and it’s so cute I knew I had to post it here too.

There is quite a bit of detail on this bag including the prairie points with decorative buttons, the loop and button closure and the rick rack. She has done such a super job on this bag! It measures 10″ w x 7″ tall and is made from the cutest cowgirl fabric and butterfly bandanna fabric accents. The bag is fully lined and has interior pockets that can be seen in this picture.

She is selling this bag for $40 (that’s a steal considering all the detail work she did!).

I have been busy sewing and I took a break to try to catch up here a bit. I’ve started and finished several small bags, this being one of them. It measure approximately 8″x10″, has a zipper closure and an open back pocket. The over cross shoulder strap is approximately 42″ in length. The interlining is a natural cotton batting. Selling price is $15 + $2 shipping.

I finished this bag a month or so ago and never got a chance to post it. The bag fabric and the outer pocket fabric is opposite black/white pattern from each other. You have to look closely to see it. The flower on the middle pocket was machine embroidered by me and there is an identical one on the back side. This bag is made from 100% quilters cotton and interlined with craft fleece. I used fusible interfacing in the pockets which adds to the firmness and provides support to the bag. This tote bag is fully lined and the 26″ handles are lined with craft fleece for additional comfort and support.

This is one of my favorite tote bag patterns and I love being able to add the embroidery work.
