I have been wanting to make a small 'carry all' bag, every since I saw this post by Elizabeth of 'Don't Call me Betsy'. Aren't they amazing???
I searched around and decided to purchase this pattern by ELizabeth Hartman and decided to try Bag C (which I think looks very similar, don't you??!!) and also includes a few other styles which I just may have to try out as well...for starters I am going these fabrics...

| I started with the Butterfly (Field Study-Anna Maria Horner) - isn't he gorgeous?! And then just allowed fabrics to choose me from there. The blue vintage sheet in the top left corner insists on being the lining fabric - I'm going with it...no sense fighting the fabric, it always wins anyways.
After a few trips back to the original post by Elizabeth, pining after her bags, I decided to join the her 'Perfect Stars' Block of the Month Club. I am totally stoked!
I
have been madly in love with stars of late and deseperately wanting to learn
paper piecing so - VOILA - it totally makes sense for me to jump right in and
be a part of this awesome party! Party officially starts January 1 (though we
did get a bonus 'practice' block today) and I have yet to go get my fabrics! I
have started to dream about how they might look...but we all know how that
goes...I am sure once I have a discussion with the fabrics it will look NOTHING
like my original vision!!!
Off
to sew my very first bag - will let you know how I do!

Gorgeous fabrics Lisa. The Lucky Stars party sounds like a lot of fun. I think I'm going to join in.
ReplyDeleteI am doing the Lucky Stars BOM too! I already made my practice block, because I am so excited. I was scared to try and plan my whole star quilt, it gets really intimidating for me to think that far ahead... so I think I am going to go scrappy. Your bag fabrics look great!
