Paradise Tote

This was both fun and easy to make!

One of my monthly shipments in the Annie's Attic Creative Quilters Fabric Club, this one was by far one of my favorites to make.  The fabrics sent to me are called Paradise Fabric Collection by Art Gallery, and the free pattern that came with it was for this tote.

I started the tote Saturday, December 15th, 2012 and completed it Sunday, December 16th, 2012.

Teardrop Bag - An Amy Butler Design

Made an Amy Butler designed handbag for the first time!

TEARDROP BAG

It's not perfect, but for a first try, it didn't turn out too bad!

My boss and her husband live on a farm, and they've got goats.  She just loves her goats, and she asked me to make this bag out of the goat fabric she had purchased.  And she also asked me to use the hay/straw print fabric for the inside.  It turned up pretty cute!

The pattern for this bag can be found in the following book:

Handbags, Purses & Totes...

It's been awhile since I've been able to post something new.  Life has been hectic, and I haven't had the time to sew nor a place to sew since my recent, temporary move to my parents' home.  Lot's has been happening, but for now, my sewing is limited so I don't have a lot of new things to post.  However, I will post some pictures of the bags I made over the holiday season for a few of my customer orders.  All my patterns are packed away in a tub in storage right now, so unfortunately I am unable to share with you the patterns for the following bags that I have pictured...

Mini Treat Bags

One of my favorite websites to visit frequently is AllPeopleQuilt.com.  They always have great ideas and fun patterns.  And they also have contests once in awhile. 
They currently have the BERNINA Fall Bag Contest going on until November 30th, 2011.  The pattern is a free download from their site, and I've been having so much fun with it!  It's a great little bag to make with leftover fabrics from other projects, and they make perfect treat sacks for kids' parties, or even gift bags for small items!
Here are a few pictures of the mini bags I made just this week...

 I made the Heroes and Mickey bags slightly larger to accomodate
for the images on the fronts of the bags.
