Have you been wondering about my
Christmas in July progress? Well, fear not, I have made some progress and I
have even photographed it!
Jeni’s Lined Drawstring Bag has
been popping up all over the blogosphere, but I was able to resist its charms
until my mom wrapped my birthday present in an Artist Bag. I decided to try out
the tutorial before buying the pattern, and started on an Everything Bag, using
three fat quarters of Joy by Kate Spain. Before I even finished the first bag,
I liked it so well that I bought the full pattern.
This pattern is absolutely genius!
With careful cutting, I was able to make two Everything Bags out of three fat
quarters. They came together super quick and easy. I have less time to sew than
I would like, but still managed to make four of these bags in less than a week.
They are so much fun that I already have two more in progress, in different
sizes. I love the bags I’ve already made, but they seem a little small for my
purposes, so I’ll probably make more bags in the bigger sizes. I can’t wait ‘til
Christmas when I can wrap presents in these fun bags!
I thought you'd like it! What a nice assortment you've got made already!
ReplyDeleteYour Christmas bags are adorable - I am so impressed that you have Christmas goodies ready in July. The bags are a bit addictive to make. I feel like I am going around saying "do you need a bag for something?" to the people in my world....makes them think I'm crazier than I am!
