I usually say I only sew for fun. I don't sell the things I make as I don't want to be obligated to produce something but there are times when I sort of force myself to do things. Yes, I'm talking about these cute bags. I made those my goal for January and I just did not want to fail. Last year I linked up with Lovely year of finishes four times and fail in all of them. So I chose rather achievable goal this time around and I'm glad I did since our entire family is sick. Not much sewing happening but lots of tea, tissues and TV. We are getting better otherwise I wouldn't finish those. I used the fab tutorial by Ayumi which you can find HERE.
The Hello Kitty print is on both sides. I add extra layer of batting to the bottom for stability. There is nothing inside those bags on any of these pics.
So far we are having really mild winter. We had about an inch of snow for couple of days but we back to damp awfulness. It is perfect weather for spreading viruses but not so perfect for winter fun. We haven't been able to built proper snowman yet.
These two are slightly bigger than the first one I made. The one in front has been already used and washed. You can also see how bad the colors look indoor :-)
Linking up with Lovely Year of Finishes - HURRAY!!
plus TGIFF and Crazy mom quilts.
Love these sweet bags! I have been meaning to try this pattern for ages.
ReplyDeleteCute bags Vera, hope you are all feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteI just love these cute bags Vera, they're soooooo lovely.
ReplyDeleteHurray for meeting your goals! Both of those bags are sew sweet! Who doesn't love Hello Kitty? Hope you and yours are all soon on the mend. Have a restful weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo cute and congratulations on meeting your goal!!
ReplyDeleteVery cute little bags. Congratulations on meeting your goal. I hope you all feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute Vera! Congrats and feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteWell done and a great start to the New Year. I hope you and the little ones are much better. As for selling your work - I have seen the quality first hand - they would sell like hotcakes. Maybe you could have a grand 'Finishing' table at a quilt fayre at the end of the year and sell all the projects you make through the year.
ReplyDeleteThey are so sweet. Hope you all get better soon.
ReplyDeleteThose are just adorable - perfect for the girls! I like your method of giving the base more stability with the quilted batting :) I hope everybody feels better soon - if you want, I can send you a LOT of snow ... and ice ... and cold weather? No? But - really - I'm happy to share our ... bounty! ;)
