Until the gardens wake up~
The only florals here are in fabrics..and gifts~
I made another Amy Butler bag~It's my favorite so far~The mini accessory is for Kleenex:) I enjoy making them~..But more when I have an idea..I think any of you who have a sewing machine would like to make them also:) The roses were from a friend at Valentines~
The Textures are Thanks to Joe Sistah~
“Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says For the woman I love and the second, For my best friend..”
The Ephemera..from one of my links I have shared before..and the Iron On Fabric from Avery for the Ephemera~
The bags are reversible.. and there's a canvas/ fabric middle part also..I used a blue floral for the canvas invisible part..as I ran out of neutral..the beauty? It's invisible..it's like a stiffener...I forget the word..Interfacing maybe?
:)
** I find these bags great for the grocery store.. just a few items:)Nothing leaky of course..But dry goods~ And bulb saving:)Or just hanging around on a pretty hook somewhere~ ~
So many lovely bags... it would be great to use for storage in a pretty office!!!
ReplyDeleteYour bag is so beautiful, Monique. I love your floral fabric, so perfect as we all anticipate springtime.
ReplyDeleteMonique, your bags are so beautiful. I think this one is my favourite too.
ReplyDeleteI'm almost tempted to get out my sewing machine.
This is really pretty. I will never be able to sew...I have clumsy fingers...
ReplyDeleteMonique, I love these bags. This one, with its striped lining, may be my favorite! I wish I could sew...
ReplyDeleteI forgot to say that we use bags like this here often, for all our shopping. I love to have them around.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for making them!
Monique, I collect vintage linens and textiles-those fabrics are beautiful

ReplyDeleteBeautiful, charming bags. Puts me in the mood for spring. What pretty roses. Would love to make these.
ReplyDeleteMaureen
What pretty bags - I adore the colours.
ReplyDeleteYour on a roll Monique!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat for birthday gifts for girlfriends...daughters.
I find them relaxing to make...takes me to a different creative place.
Your fabric choice for this one is a reminder of spring on the rise...
I love your pocket print too...I also have that one!
Well...Your food for the soul, fed me!,

Kathy..thinking of you...
ReplyDeleteI just told someone almost your exact words about going to a different creative place...
Maureen.. would our mothers have liked them?:) We could have made them matching ones... I would have made her many:)
Any one of you can make these..w/ a machine..Truly.:)
Thank you ..you are the encouragement to find new fabrics and make more when time permits.
And one of you was the inspiration:)
Monique, this is one of those things I consider a hyacinth for the soul. It is truly lovely just hanging on a hook or used for some purpose. I like the idea of storing bulbs in these. It would certainly add a creative touch to one's potting shed.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing. I like the idea of your Soul Food posts. I'm so happy I've found your blog!!!

My day for getting caught up, finally! You are becoming such a wonderful bag lady and I mean that in a good way :) Another beautiful chez-d'ouevre!
ReplyDeleteSusan..you cracked me up~:) Too true..
ReplyDeleteJosée.. je sais ce que tu accomplis avec tes doigts de fée..Il n'y a pas de comparaison:) Mais merçi!
Thanks..thanks ..thanks..I just need to get fabric shopping and more spare time for more.
Lovely, lovely bag...there is magic in whatever you touch. I have never used the label, but am going to explore that idea. I just made a bag to hold a friend's birthday present. I used stamps and fabric paint. I didn't have time to take a pic since I finished it the night before I gave it to her ;-) I'll make another and share.

Diane..I can't wait to see:) I am sure I will love it
