Little Bag
 

I got inspired when my girlfriend came over with some fabric samples. She said she is going to make some little bags. Now, mind you, she doesn't sew lol. I asked if she knew how and she said she will try. Long story short, I decided to show how to make the paper bag style real quilck. I used my sample fabric to show her, she promptly took that bag for herself hahahhaha.....

Since I was in the mood by then, I took a pack of charm and made this one, so easy to make...

nice colors

Very pretty bag.

You have friends like that too rosy? I have to laugh when they begin the ruse story. They know I am going offer to help, but, why do they try and make it sound as if they are the ones who will make them? Seems hilarious to me. I don't mind doing it, just don't try to fool me like that. Right? I hope she at least shared some of the nice samples with you.

By the way, nice bag!

Super bag. BrendaK

Nice bag! I love those fossil fern fabrics, and the fabric you chose for the lining and bottom was a great choice to go with them.

nicely done

Great job on that bag!

lol, I don't pay her no mind lol. We have been friends like sisters for over 30 year. Our kids grew up together. I told her I was up to her tricks since yersterday, and we just laugh. She knows she can get by with me. I didn't want any of her samples as they were ugly hahahahah....I told her so too lol. I love color and hers were beige. She is up in Texas now, helping with the grandchildren and supposedly going to make the bags from the sample I showed her. I can't wait lol....

My dear friends know me well and they know I don't do anything that I don't want to do. That is the best relation you can have with a friend. Here is a another cute story. The same friend, called and asked me if she could borrow a needle and thread because she wanted to sew up two lace sleeves on a dress. Now I don't do alterations and sew seams or anything of the sort and they all know it.

She comes over and I give her a needle and thread (all the while scolding her that I couldn't believe a woman didn't have a needle and some thread to speak of). We sat on the couch, watching a movie, she sewed and I knitted. When she was done, she was so proud of her achievement and soooo happy that she did it. I fixed her up a little case with needles and several threads and a mouse pin cushion with pins and she was delighted. lol. I then told her to go get her sewing machine from her SIL who has had it for ages lol.

I am now looking at all those charms and thinking little bags. I have been using mine a lot. I did put two pockets in mine. I am thinking now, one with a zipper pocket inside. Then I am spying my pickled ladies on the board and thinking I should just finish those up and start quilting the tops I have in the drawer lol. Never a dull moment and always so much to do. i cooked enough for two days so I can get into something. It's been a bit cold here in Florida so I have been knitting dish and wash cloths that I will post in another thread.

Good for you.

like the colors

Nice bag and love your fabrics you used.

Very cute bag!!

Great job on your bag and nice colors.

Great bag!

Love this bag

Very nice.

Lovely and colourful.

What a nice bag for shopping for veggies at the farmer's market! I should make some of these and it may be a great way to use up some of my scraps. Did you sew the squares together, layer it and quilt it before making it into the bag?

Yes I remember girlfriend relationships. My two besties are gone to heaven now. But, I have a large family that live near me and they are the same. Fun to have someone who knows you that well, huh? Enjoy them while you can.

It is when they offer my "services" to others without asking me that is almost more than I can stand. Oh well, no matter. You have to pick your battles I suppose. LOL!
