Heidi has created a new canvas bag pattern and suggested it as a possible project. I pulled out an unfinished bag project of my own. After a couple of really relaxing and fun hours, I had finished this.
My bag is 12 inches high, 8 inches wide and 8 inches deep. I really like how nicely it sits on its own. It's constructed from 6 inch quilt blocks and fabric squares. There's a tutorial in the works–if you'd like to make one like it yourself, stay tuned.
Unless the promised storms (with flood warnings) are in full force, I'll be taking it for a test drive at the Dallas Farmer's Market tomorrow morning . . . and I'll take a better photo, too ;-)
That is so cute, looking forward to seeing your tutorial.

Love the bag!!! Looking forward to your tutorial.
ReplyDeleteooo that's pretty!
ReplyDeleteIt's true what you say about the design process changing - so far, it's changed quite radically as I lost the tic-tac-toe paper plan, and cut and sewed the sashing at 3inches without checking my blog post pic which shows 2 inches, cos I'm lazier than you sigh! So I'm wondering if I'll have space for a border at all now. double sigh!! I'm just going to play it by ear I think...
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty bag. I just love baskets too!
ReplyDeleteLove your bag and am looking forward to the tutorial.
ReplyDeleteFor anyone following these comments, but not my blog ... come on back, the tutorial is up ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope that if you make a bag, you'll share a photo with me.
