I got this little bag free with a paid membership. It is just the right size, has an adjustable strap, and 3 zippered pockets. But it shouts, "I'm old". So I removed the binding, put pieces of fabric on top, then put the binding back on. Plus this was a fabric I got in a trade here. Your quilting skills come in handy for other projects also.

Pure genius! I like your style and may borrow that idea....the possibilities are endless.

Such a great idea! Smart lady!

That is so cute-I have one of those, maybe I should try it!

cherylynne 05-12-2011 01:02 AM

Oh yes, I do like it much better without the advertising!!

heather1949 05-12-2011 01:35 AM

That is a great idea...thanks for sharing.

Very clever! I would never have thought of doing that!

Vanuatu Jill 05-12-2011 01:37 AM

oops double post again-my fingers have a mind of their own!

That's one snazzy little bag... :)

We are NOT old at 50!

CompulsiveQuilter 05-12-2011 04:48 AM

ha ha - I got one of those bags also. I knew it was a great design so I didn't throw it away, but would never carry it as is. Now I know how to fix it! You are a genius! Thank you for the idea. And it's a great fabric.

lisalovesquilting 05-12-2011 04:50 AM

Fantastic idea. Turned out great. I probably would have taken the easy way out and fused an applique over it.

BluegrassGurl 05-12-2011 04:51 AM

Now that is a pure example of getting a lemon and making lemonade. Great job! ;-)

GREAT IDEA FOR a lot of advertising bags e accumulate.

Kkimberlee 05-12-2011 05:45 AM

What a neat thing to do. It amazes me what you can do with premades and a little bit of fabric!

GirlieWhirlie 05-12-2011 05:47 AM

My husband has the same bag and he gave it to me because he doesn't want to shout "OLD" either. I'm using your idea. Thanks.

nativetexan 05-12-2011 05:47 AM

Hey! I'll send you mine to fix too! cute!!!!

clem55 05-12-2011 06:21 AM
