I can't stop making these bags.
The curvy clutch is my favorite Keyka Lou pattern; they are so fun to make! I am quilting the outer fabric to the batting before adding the lining. These bags close with two magnetic snaps.Rick rack!!
When piecing, I use the stitch and flip method and sew the outer fabrics right to the batting.Embroidery.
I'm still thinking on the quilting pattern for the twinkling stars.
Workshop Frenzy
I am busy in the sewing room these days. Starting new projects, progressing on others, and finishing some.I even have a new pair of soft, squishy, warm socks for winter made of Artyarns Supermerino! I followed this toe up pattern to use all of the yarn.
All the Trimmings
I will have a booth at the All the Trimmings show on December 4 and the Chelsea Fair Grounds and I'm starting to feel the stress. I have been making quilts like crazy and now I have several tops still to put together and quilt. I have a fear of having a booth piled high with quilts and not selling anything so, I have taken a break from those big projects to make some smaller non-quilt items for the show.I recently found Keyka Lou patterns. I really like the clean lines and straightforward assembly of these bags. The little clutches don't use much fabric and I put batting between the layers for a soft finish.
I am really pleased with how this wristlet camera bag turned out. If I still used a point and shoot I think I might keep this one for myself. It also has batting to cushion the camera inside.
My favorite pattern has got to be this shoulder bag. I love those pockets on the front. It also has a magnetic snap closure. I had never put one of those in before. I am an instant fan!
I have done well to use fabric on hand but I have used up all of my interfacing. So, I guess I will trek to the fabric shop. I shall have to put on blinders and go directly to the interfacing and only the interfacing.
