Finished Object parade part 3

In this last installment I will be talking about the other thing that I was busy doing during the nice long Memorial Day weekend: sewing. I have been building a fabric stash, though it is still in the infant stage, and I wanted to try my hand at some project bags. I have one that I won from Keri and use it all the time and it is starting to get worn (no fault what so ever to Keri I just use it all the time).

So I pulled out some light weight denim and went to work. It was easier then I thought. I looked at many how to's that are out there on the web.

What fabric did Qutecowgirl use to line her bag?

Why cow print of course!

I also tried something that didn't work out but I did turn it into a really cute bag

There are a couple of mistakes on this one. The cow print is jersey knit and well I tried to rush so I could be done quicker. So of course there are a few boo boos. I also put the handle on with the seam facing out. Oh well, it will look fine once I iron it.

With a left over piece I made a new pin cushion. My poor tomato was overwhelmed from all the pins and it was fall apart.

It is about a 7 inch cube.

Next time.... Something funky from Blue Moon.

How cute!! I find the first time I try any project bag is the hardest - then it gets so much easier after that. I think your first one came out great.

Hmm....more project bags means more projects...Great idea! I love it! I may have to go that route myself...
