Some time last year, I found this great website called
You Can Make This. It has a huge library of electronic patterns for sale for sewing, knitting, crocheting, etc. It's great to have these as electronic documents... instant gratification! I've bought about 10 or so patterns so far and have had some fun planning some projects. This
Mini Scoop Tote Bag is one of the first ones I've made. It's an adorable little bag that would be great for a bunch of different things. It measures 7" wide at the top, 4" wide at the bottom and a cute little 5" tall. As I was making it, I thought it would be cute made with Christmas fabrics to deliver some cookies to a friend. Anyway... I've recently picked out all kinds of different fabrics to use for these little bags. I did goof up in one spot so this one will be staying at home here with them. But, it was very fun and VERY easy to make....
Products used:
Fabric: Market Floral (Alexander Henry Fabrics),
Fabulous Finds (Donna Walker for Fabric Traditions);
Other: Tailor Computer Printer Fabric (for label), Guterman thread;
Dritz Fabric-Covered Button Maker, Bernina sewing machine.
I love fabric-covered buttons!
I didn't realize that these fabrics weren't made by the same company
until I was writing this post. Surprise, lol! They coordinated pretty
nicely together. I could have used the same fabric for both the
interior & exterior but I prefer "simple" patterns on the inside of bags.
My only dilemma now is choosing which fabrics to use next to make another one. :)
Thanks for taking a look!
