Strawberry Canvas Bag, so yummy & sweet!

This is my new favorite fabric lately!

Here's a close-up, but it's a little blurry,

& pinker in this picture than it really is!

It's actually a nice rich red!

It's a lovely thick canvas cotton covered in luscious strawberries!

I got as much as I could afford, & this is the first bag I've made with it so far~

I love the depth of the inside pocket, {10 inches!}

which has a natural frayed edge,

secured with green leaf stitching along the edge of the pocket~

The same leaf stitching secures the bag all the way around, & triple secures the handles~

Hannah's holding it open a little here, but it actually hangs closed nicely!

The inside fabric is a really soft, lovely light green cotton

with just enough red in it to pick up & bring out the strawberries~

Here's a close-up of some of the stitching, on the edges, & the handles...

There's more of these coming, they'll all be unique, & I'll post pics as they're created!

If you'ld like to adopt one, & promise to give it a loving home,

Homeless Lilac & Fruit Bag

I found my favorite lilac fabric & decided to make a little bag...it's so sweet I want to keep it for myself, but it whispered to me that it's looking for someone really special to adopt it...are you able to give it a good home? It has Lilacs on one side, sweet & yummy fruit on the other!

I put two outside pockets on the lilac side,

with leaf stiching down the middle to divide the pocket...

This fruit fabric is sooo yummy, (& brighter than the pics show!) a high quality quilting fabric, (as is the lilac fabric, too, actually!) & great for raw foodists, vegans, vegetarians, & fruit lovers of all persuasions to carry as a visual reminder to make healthy food choices as you carry this through your day!

Here's Hannah carrying it for you, after trying to convince me to let her adopt it herself!

There's also an inside pocket that's nice & deep (6.5 inches)...

...the outside of it is the fruit, the inside of it is a nice rough, thick, soft purple...

...the handles are triple reinforced, & all seams are double-stitched to last forever!

{OK, not quite forever, but for a loooooooooooooooooooong time!}

The stitches kinda look like scribbles here, but really, they're a string of leaves!

Here's Hannah modelling it for me, at almost Midnight when she shoulda been in bed!

If you'ld like to give this sweet little purse a loving home, contact me for adoption info~

~Jenna's Birthday Bag~

This is the bag I just made for my daughter's sweet homeschool/church friend, Jenna, who just turned 17! This patchwork fabric is from the Trailblazer uniform they wear for Sunday School that Jenna helps teach...

The lining is a kind of sweatshirt fleece, so soft, & such a nice lining!

...& the other side is music fabric, because I made the bag big enough to carry her music books to the weekly group lessons she & her sisters take with Hannah, as well as for her Bible & lesson books on Sundays! {Mittens the cat had to inspect it, of course!}

& here's Jenna when I gave her the bag, before church, with my Hannah watching...she loved it, & is now using it for church as well as music lessons, as I hoped she would!
