My new patterns- for bags !

March 5, 2010 21 Comments

In the last months so many people asked for a pattern for my bags and now I am happy (but more than happy, I am relieved !) that I finally finished them.

First of all, I want to thank to a few friends who helped me a lot. They tested the patterns, made a few bags, reviewed the instructions and even my English, helped me find a name for them…
Thank you Lynn, Marion, Janet, Renata, Michele ( following the links I think soon you will see their bags). Thanks to you I made better patterns !

So, here are the patterns ! Yes, the patterns, I just could not make only one !

 And here are the bags I made lately:

This is the cutest bag I told you about a few days ago.

As always, it was a “last moment” project and I made it with the fabrics I had on hand…

I made it for a little girl …

If you don’t find it too cute, look at its size (sorry, bad picture…),

I used the same pattern and I made three bags in three different sizes.

For these bags I used the other pattern.
This one is smaller than the original size,

which is very roomy…

You can see what fabrics I used and other details on my website.

Finally, I want to share this picture with you because I am still amazed by how some things from my past influence my current life.

A few years ago I used to sew clothes for myself. With my big passion for quilting I was pretty sure that this chapter in my life is closed forever. And it is, but I would have never thought that a picture (taken to show off my new jacket to a few friends) and the fact that I learned how to sew those pockets would lead me to making bag patterns!

One year ago I would have sworn that all my life I will make quilts and only quilts…Now, I would make such bags in all the possible combinations and I would not be bored!

The pattern is very versatile and the possibilities are endless. Once you learn how to sew it, I think you will soon develop your own patterns !
This is a variation.

Enjoy the patterns! I will take a few days off…
Thank you all for visiting me and for your interest in my patterns…

    Oh Geta, they are so beautiful again. You are such a wonder-lady in this gray country. My favorite is the green-red (or orange) combination with the flower on it. Oh my, I am longing to see Spring in our midst. Hope you are well.
