I'm on my way to creating monsters out of my oldest nieces. Emilee just had a birthday and she asked for a purse... who was I to object? She forgot that she had asked, though, so when she saw the box, she said: "Is it a quilt?!?!" Like I said, I'm creating monsters. ;) I told her she will get one soon - she got one for her last birthday!
The tote bag is made from Let's Eat Grandpa's fabulous Bloomin' Quilt-As-You-Go (QAYG) tutorial. I've made a pillow using it once before - it's a perfect project for scraps. Be warned though - lots of thread and time are necessary. :)
The back. I swear I pressed it at some point... probably way before I finished the bag.
Linking up to Sew Cute Tuesday and Fabric Tuesday.
Bags make great gifts! Five jobs? How do you do that and still have time for all the quilting you do?
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! She seems to like it. I wish my siblings would have kids already, I'm pretty sure I'd be a kick ass aunty, haha. Or maybe I'd be that strict aunty? I dunno. Either way, the family needs more babies, my kids are gonna be all grown by the time anyone else has some though.
ReplyDeleteso cute, and your niece looks like such a little diva with her pose :) How adorable!

ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous! You are such a bag lady and I am not. I made one in my life and that will be it, LOL!! I just can't get the hand of 3D sewing :-)
ReplyDeleteWe may have to work out some sort of a trade or something in the near future.....
Love this little bag! I'm with you...can't get enough bags!
ReplyDeleteSew adorable! Oh... And the bag is beautiful, too! Looks like a fun project to work on, Jess. I can see how making purses could become addicting!!
ReplyDeleteCute! Looks adorable on the model, too ; ) I just used an IKEA tote to bring a quilt to my local store for longarming... the ladies were all gathered around asking how I made such a big handy bag from a plastic tarp lol. You can tell there's no IKEA nearby, huh?
