bow-tiful bag...

 

to make this bag i used a cotton canvas material in two coordinating fabric prints and a simple cream cotton lining.  I used a Debbie shore pattern from the high style handbags project cd. the bumper bow bag is quite simple to make, however I did need to make a few changes to the pattern. I have listed these below for reference. I think if you are a bit more skilled, this bag would benefit from a magnetic clasp or maybe a inside pocket.

 

• bumper bow bag handle- cut 2 outer fabric (only says 1 on pattern)
• bumper bow bag bow: cut 1 outer fabric...this piece needs to be thinner, take about 1cm of the width

sewing roll...

 

 

i have made this sewing roll, i used a grey sewing themed fabric that i bought at the market. i added contrasting red bias binding and ribbon, to brighten it up a bit.  i have been wanting to make an EPP quilt for a while now, as i felt i needed a little sewing project that is more portable. this will be perfect to keep all my things together when im on the move. i will keep threads, scissors etc in the bottom pocket. material in the centre slip pocket, and paper cut outs in the zipped pocket. i will also add a piece of felt at the top to keep my needles safe!!
I think this could also be used as a cosmetics roll, to keep bits of makeup and brushes together to travel...
