Well, I jumped on the Sew Together train!
I am sure you have all seen this fantastic little bag floating around on the blogs and IG...
The pattern is by Sew Demented
It really isn't as scary as it looks, but I did have the fabulous sew-along tutorial by Quilt Barn close at hand...
First I pieced and quilted my own fabric for the exterior of the bag...
I love this scrappy piece with some of my favorite fabrics!
I followed the instructions and used some colorful zips!
and soon a bag took shape...
I attached my binding (the most difficult part) by machine...
it turned out fine, but the next time I will try attaching first by machine and then hand stitching to finish.
I know it looks a bit intimidating but it really wasn't so bad...
and it's just a great little bag!
I love it!
I also played with a bit of Liberty and ball fringe for a simple, yet oh-so-lovely pillow!
I am hoping to visit the Country Living Fair this weekend! Have you ever been?
happy thursday!
