Fuzzy Paisley & New Toys




One more bag I've finished for my Mother-in-law! I used my new toys for this one- yippee! It's a cotton-like material with a velvety paisley pattern. It's cool because only the pattern is fuzzy, the rest feels like canvas. I used a magnetic snap this time because tying and untying the bow was too much hassle. I definitely should write some sort of pattern down because I couldn't remember exactly how I put the clutch together. It took longer than it should, but still took under two hours. It's pretty, pretty, and I have extra material!!!

My Pile O' Bags

This is what I've been doing. I'm only 3/4 of the way done. The other 3 bags are different and not needed this weekend.
These 8 bags are for a luncheon my mother-in-law is hosting. They are destined to be filled with goodies, so they are relatively plain.

I took a closeup of the stripe pattern; it has a slight shine to it, very pretty. The inside is a soft yellow linen, very prone to fraying.
I also hemmed a tablecloth for her. It's a fuzzy herringbone, very soft.
Not bad for 8 hours work, huh?

How many more to go???

I'm working on a big order. I've got 8 small bags, 3 clutches, and a tablecloth to hem. It's for my Mother-in-law, so it's not like she's breathing down my neck, but I do want it perfect. I'm just that sort of person.
I am getting kind of tired of looking at the fabric. The small bags are all the same.
