New Bags to show off.







The Purse and Tote were made with Leather and Upholster fabric.  The Tote has one large pocket and snaps on the sides, to help you place things in the tote.  The purse has a large zipped center section, and two side snap closed side pockets. Lots of room for everything you need to carry.

This is my newest Carpet Bag.  I make every Carpet Bag different from the previous one.  I will change up the type of pocket handle etc,  or the bag might be a little  different because of the size of carpet.

The fun of finding just the right piece of fabric.

The fun of finding  just the right piece of fabric. Of course before I go grocery shopping, I just had to stop at the fabric store as patterns are on sale.  You can never have too many patterns or fabric, maybe not enough room to store the stuff.  But  if you fold it really small and squish it a little it will fit.

Anyways I looked at the patterns and didn't find any I needed, I then made the mistake of heading to the back of the store to the clearance section.  Should have stopped and turned around, no will power.

I found these fabrics, I have an idea of what to do with them. Now I just have to make sure to get them done quickly so they don't fall to the bottom of the list of things to make.  It is not my bucket list, it is my bag list.  A very big and long bag list, I seem to find lots of bags to add to it.

The blue fabric is linen and cotton.  The other fabric is jean  and swimsuit fabric the quick dry type.
