more bags

Over the last few months I've made a few bags. I thought I would share them all at once. They are all a variation of the same pattern. I love that I've gotten so much use out of one pattern. I should probably find another one to mix thing up a bit. 

this first bag was a birthday gift for my daughters friend. I scaled the bag down to fit her size. 

Her friends name starts with E, she turned 7 and her favorite color is turquoise. She loved the personalized bag. I think I might be making some more of these. 

I love this bag for summer. I made it for someone else, but I bought enough fabric to make my own. It's on my to-do list. 

I experimented with a new kind of closure. I really like it, I think the button works well with the fabric. 

Another upholstery bag. I love the gold color and the print. 

The fabric is amazing and originally cost $40 a yard.  I got it at a fabulous store that was going out of business. 

It was hard to let this one go. 

It's made from more expensive upholstery fabric bought at closeout. 

I love the print and all of it's great texture. 

Okay, I really liked this one too. It's so classic.

The fabric had this great woven almost burlap feel. The black damask is velvet.  

I got a huge piece of red vinyl for $5. I got it to make the baby shoes, knowing I would find something to do with the rest. Well, I thought I would try using it on a bag. 

It was much harder to work with then I expected. I'm excited to see how it holds up. I hate it when vinyl cracks. I'm still trying to decide if I love this one or not. Maybe I can't get over all the flaws.
