Since sister 'o mine birthday bag, the other gals in my family have started a list as to whom gets the next one...I've knocked the first 3 off the list. These are for some of the "younger" girls in the family.

Here they are close up and individually shot...

Those are just too cute! What pattern are you using?

Thanks bunches everyone!!!

They're VERY easy to make. Fun too. Well for now anyway LOL



sewnsewer2 as of right now still more than 30...but not all of them want this pattern. They've become pickier and pickier to boot LOL. Some are for my oldest daughter's friends...the disco one is for a friend of my oldest nephew's wife...etc. So...the list just continues to grow and grow.

I LOVE THEM ALL!

Wonderful bags! My daughters would love these, I know your girls will too!

Wow, 30? Boy you sure will be kept busy!

jbsstrawberry,
Those bags are great!!! I love them. I was thinking of making one or two. Did you use the same measurements as the directions. I only ask as from the directions it looks like in would only be 2 inches from the top to the top of the six pockets, but your picture looks like more then 2 inches. I love the way yours looks.

Thanks again for sharing!!!

PS what type of batting did you use?? Just wondering. We have teachers appreciation next week and I would love to make these for my son's teachers.

What great bags Lisa! Where's mine? LOL! Love all the fabrics. Can't wait to see more!

Great job Strawberry! You are one sweet lady to take on such a large list of bags to make for friends and family! I have a big pile of fabric and handles I have ready to make bags too. But, I haven't the time recently. Babysitting for my brother this week. :) Three year olds are something to take care of ....

I like.

Those are so cute. My future DIL would love the skulls lol

Very nice " Berry " ! I got the pattern , too . Just haven't got around to making any yet . Been a busy little bee haven't we ? Happy stitching Annie

Thanks! Yes, I did use the same measurements as the directions; and yes i thought mine were a bit more on top than the pic too. Could be because I used medium weight pelon on the half of the pocket piece towards the outside of the bag. I used thin low-loft batting i got from a quilt shop, but i used a double layer of it on each side. One layer didn't provide enough body for the top to stand up tall and proud. Same reason I added the pelon...i didn't want saggy pockets.


Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. I'll post more as I get them done :). I'm gonna switch up the pattern for awhile...don't want to get board doing the same one over and over without a break.

wonderful bags, you did a great job :D

Great looking bags -- Am I on your list (the list to get a purse that is :wink: ) :roll: :roll:

I like your bags ~ you are going to be a pro at making totes. PM me if you need my address to send a bag. :lol:

Keep up the good work, I am sure they are thrilled to have them.

totally off subject, but i just love those strawberry girls :lol: :lol:

Thank you...here you can overdose on them here LOL
