Bags

Yesterday we had a fun day with the girls! Natalie and Becky came over and we made trick or treat bags for our kids! I know you're probably thinking that we are super early, but they sold the panels at Jo-Ann's and they were on sale this week, so we knew we had to get them before they were gone! 

I uploaded these backwards, but oh well. Here's the lining. They were pretty flimsy, so we thought that would help stabilize them a bit.

Here's the back of one. The panel came with two bags and they both had a different print for each side. So four different pieces.

The other backing.
Here is the "spooky" bag.

And the "jack-o-lantern" bag. Aren't they cute?! They also sold place mats and pillow panels that were cute. I bought a pillow panel so I'll have to post pics when I make that!

The next bag I made was for my camera. I wanted a cute bag and found one on etsy but didn't want to pay the asking price! This project ended up being A LOT of work! And I probably started on it like 3 weeks ago or so? Luckily I live with a sewing expert, so she helped me design a pattern that looked like the one I wanted. I used the home decor fabric to make it more sturdy and bought it at 75% off! Which is totally unheard of. I was so excited. And it's even Amy Butler! Way to go me :)  Here it is.

For the most part I am pleased. It' s still a bit flimsier than I'd like, but at this point I'm not going back!
