In my last post, I showed an in-progress Crockett Bag that I was working on. I have temporarily admitted defeat - It's an advanced bag and I think I'm going to need some more experience in bag making before I start that project back up. In the meantime, I got my blocks done for the Sauder Village Block of the Month. We're doing the quilt "Strawberry Garden" by Fig Tree Quilts.
So I haven't posted for a bit because I started two major bag projects. One of them is that I was teaching myself how to make the "Crockett" bag by Sallie Tomato. It's a slim sling bag. I prepped 5 different bags, using black canvas, a beige canvas and then 2 dragon canvas bags. I've started with the 2 black canvas bags. It's taken me a few weeks of just working on these bags. But I'm almost there. Along the way, I even taught myself how to do a pleated front pocket. Attached is the picture of the pieces that I've got put together up to today. I'm hoping I'll be able to to finish these two bags over the next few days and show you the finished bags. Attached is the picture of what the finished Crockett bag looks from Sallie Tomato's website.
Finished a quilt last week. I called it an Asian Gold quilt. I made this from a class I took at Sonflower Quilts, while they were open. We took our stash, cut strips and then turned those into quilts. I quilted this with a dark gray thread and used the quilting pattern Interlocking Loopy 2.
Today, my granddaughter and I sewed up 2 Hemingway bags. Good thing we have my Singer 15-91 (Ora Bell). She sewed through all the layers of foam, fabric, and zippers with no problem whatsoever.
More dragon bags this week! First were some very cute baby dragons and then some flying dragon bags.
Sewed with friends again today. Made a bunch more dragon bags. The first set were green and red dragon bags. The second set were red dragon eyes bags. The third set were green and black dragon bags. So fun much!
Sewed with friends again today. I've been making all sorts of dragon bags. Here's the first few. The first is a dragon fire bag. The second is a group of 3 dragon egg bags. The last are a group of small dragon key chain wallet bags.
