Bags in class

Ellen's Roomy Denim Bag

Juanita's giant library bag

Ellen finished her Roomy Denim Bag today.

The lining fabric is just divine. She pattern matched the inside pocket

with the postcard on the print.

Juanita has finished another library bag, this time for her daughter.

She also added a giant zippered pocket on the outside because when

is a bag used for just one purpose?

My Roomy Denim Bag

I came up with this bag design while sitting at soccer one night

waiting for a message on my phone.

I didn't want to be holding my phone waiting for the message,

but couldn't see it when it was in my handbag. So I made external

zippered pockets from mesh. Problem solved.

It also has an internal mesh pocket and is big enough to hold all the sporting essentials - diary, phone, wallet, notebook, novel, pens, lip balm, sunglasses, reading glasses, scarf, light jumper, car keys, camera ...

CLASS - Wednesday June 18

9.30 - 2.30

Zippered Clutch

I have made 3 versions of the Clutch featured in Threads mag 169 Nov13

Designed by Don Morin of

Bagntell.wordpress.com

The red version is silk lined with a zany cotton print, using light weight fusible interfacing & Vliesofix. I felt this was too light and floppy so I tried

An embroidered heavy cotton lined with a bias printed cotton, using a stiff interfacing & 2 layers of Vliesofix.

The gerbera cotton print uses a bag wadding from Ingrid's with Vliesofix.

The second and third versions definitely have more body suited to a clutch, but are not as neat to sew.
