Here is what we did.
I purchased this laminate fabric a few months ago and yesterday just seemed the perfect day to use it. But.....me, being the cheap person I am didn't want to have scraps (this laminate fabric is expensive) so I didn't use the measurements the tutorial gave me. We ended up with this square....we both laughed and then I thought....why not a handle. Got my good ole duck take out and one handle was produced.
Next, one cosmetic bag....
I just love this half moon. I did a really small one before leaving Samoa and just loved it. You can get the tutorial here.Not bad for a morning's work.....now my sewing room is quiet, the tools are put away, and my friend has gone. Maybe I will do some FMQ today?
That laminated fabric would make darling reusable lunch bags!
ReplyDeleteSad that your sewing buddy has left. Sewing buddies are great friends. Love your bags!! I love to make bags, the curved one is so neat. Checked out the tutorial, the pictures are great, could not get it to translate, but got the concept. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteThose are AWESOME!! Thanks for the tutorials...will probably wind up pinning them. I pin EVERYTHING, LOL!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Barb. But how did you read that tutorial in Norwegian?
ReplyDeletethese little pouches are so cute! Great job. I bought some laminated fabric a while back,but haven't gotten brave enough to cut into it !
ReplyDeleteDid you line these? Or have to finish the inside seams?
Fun bags and a great way to spend the day with your friend , I am sure you will miss her . hugs Sheila

How sad, I lost my best quilting buddy a few years ago. She taught me to quilt, we quilted for other people went travelling to U.S to big quilt shows and became like sisters. She am sure you have lots of friends to fill in but there is always one who is just so specialYour bags are really sweet I haven't tried laminated fabric yet, can't find it in Ontario and costs a lot to mail so I will have to wait for next trip down to States. Blessings sandra

Your bags look great! I haven't worked with laminated fabric. With the price, it's not something I have bought just because.

Cute bags. I am on a little bit of a bag/ purse thing at the moment. The are so easy to finish in a morning/day, so satisfying.
