These are just lovely, you did a great job. It is possible for you to give us the pattern or let us know which one you used.

Love your bags. I have some remnants I have been saving but they're small samples and I don't have enough of any one to make a bag, however I like the way you combined fabrics to make your bags even more interesting. Thanks for motivating me to add an upholstery bag to my to-do list for 2011. Did you use a pattern or make up your own? Any chance you'd consider doing a tute? You did a beautiful job.

Due to illness my sister just closed her upholstery shop. I guess I need to go visit the shop while I'm visiting her.

I assume these were made from the Bowtucks pattern?

No this is not the Bowtucks Pattern. There are many requests for the pattern I used ..... and I will have to pull it out and see about scanning it into the computer .... then I can share it with others. The pattern itself is really pretty easy to put together.

Thank you.

I would love the pattern- I have bouts of "bag making"!

Love your bag! The fabric really makes that bag. Love to see the pattern.

Did you use any lining or batting?

With you having such a supply .... thought maybe you would like to some close-up pictures the other bags.

Thought I'd share some more ideas that I have done with Upholstery Samples. Our Pastor at church asked my husband if he would design and build him a Kneeling Bench for the church. He made the Kneeler ..... and I upholstered the padded kneeling area, using Upholstery Samples.
