A lesson!

October 26, 2014 3 Comments

So I stitched these beautiful bags. They are made from quilting fabric and Decovil light interfacing. The lining is heavyweight fabric from Ikea.

This is one of my older bag pattern, Chantal. I don’t like pink but this combination with gingham is irresistible!

Bag patternsNow I have to pack them (and maybe fold them) and send them abroad to some friends. They will probably have some creases. After some wearing, they need to be washed, and after that, they need to be pressed. I am wondering if those friends of mine will find this a difficult task. Now I have to write some pressing directions for them!

My first thought was to make quilted bags for them, but I ran out of cotton batting. It would have been the best option.

I love more and more the quilted bags – not having to iron a bag after washing is appealing to me. And to anyone, I suppose! Lesson learned!

    Lovely bags. Looks like a fun design. If one were looking for a bag pattern for a kid to learn to sew, would this pattern work and for what age? Thinking about the "It's All About The Kids" blogging event next week I'm hosting, as I don't think we have such projects lined up: http://sewcalgal.blogspot.com/2014/10/its-all-about-kids-blogging-event-with.html
