Starling Bag...

I was in Idaho in July

and my aunt gave me a table runner

and said,  "I think this would make a good bag."

 

She wants a large crossbody bag

and this pattern looks just right...

The table runner is now cut into a bag

front and back...

I am using some of my hand dyes

for the bag lining...

Here is the finished bag...

It has a recessed zipper...

It has a large interior pocket...

I put a fun lining inside the pocket...

Two zippered side pockets...

Side pocket...

This crossbody bag is on its'

way back to Idaho and...

is no longer a table runner.

Clam Up Pouch...

 

Clam Up Pouch aka Dumpling Bag

This bag turned out great in this

coneflower fabric...

The pattern came with a free video

which was very helpful...

The bag opens up wide so is very easy

to reach into...

I made it to hold my jumbo clips...

Pull tabs on the bottom...

Pellon Fusible Foam keeps it sturdy...

Yes, I am making more !

Hemingway Pouches...

 

The FUN continues with the

Hemingway Pouches...

The Hemingway Pouches comes in 4 sizes...

This is the largest size...

it holds a large tablet

They require a 28 inch zipper...

I pawed through the cupboards and found a

package of pink zippers on a roll...

I cut the zippers to size for each pouch

and was able to make 8 bags with one roll...

You split the zippers in half,

so each one makes two bags...

These were great FUN and I am glad

I gave them a try !

I posted a new video of our cattle

on my Instagram page

Bag Making...

 

I have been stitching this week...

Tula Pink Tabby Road fabric

made into a tote bag...

I squared off the bottom so the bag

will sit flat...

I also included an inset zipper...

Lining and reinforced bottom...

I know a kitty lover who will be surprised

to open this for Christmas...

I had a small bit of kitty fabric leftover

so I turned it into a Hemingway Pouch...

A large tablet will fit in this pouch...

These are lined with Pellon Flexible Foam...

I am having FUN and plan to make more !

Here we go again!
