Bags I have made

I made these bags about a year ago but thought I would post some pictures of them. They are made of 5 inch squares of fabric that I embroidered.

This one is made of dark green suede fabric with light green embroidery.

This one is a red suede fabric with cream colored embroidery.

And this one is in denim with gold embroidery.

Skort


Started and finished this little skort this morning. It went together very nicely and was easy to make. It is an Epattern I got from YouCanMakeThis.com . It is designed by CarlyC, The Scientific Seamstress. This is the first time I used an Epattern and the directions are very detailed with lots of photos so it would be good for a beginner sewer. I just used some inexpensive fabric I got from Walmart. I will definetly be making more of these. The pattern also has variations for a circular skirt and a pleated skirt.

Market Bag


I have been wanting to make some market bags. I found this pattern free on the internet at Oh, Fransson! I really like free patterns and this is a good one.

Aprons

Aprons, the latest in kitchen fashion. But you need miles of ric rac. (is that how you spell it?) It required more that one trip to the store. Oh well, there is alway other stuff to buy there so it is never a wasted trip. I am working on building up my fabric stash. It is really hard to sew with out a stash. Sorry the picture is a bit fuzzy.
