I knew you would you also get 'charm packs' which are a little cheaper....



Though they are squares and not strips bah!

Good Fairy - oh you are clever............and so patient ! I doubt I'd have got that far.
I remember some years ago cutting up strips of fabric and plaiting them together and making them into circular table mats, stitching all round as I went - and I even did a rug ????
Oh those were the days........................lol

Lol Mary but it now joins all my other half-finished craft project :rotfl:

Would love to see that rug! Still got it?

Sadly no.....................it was made over 20 years ago before I moved here and think I must have got fed up and thrown it our. Now I wish I hadn't Oh well, and I'm not doing it all over again...................lol

There's no link tine

The ones I saw were in a newspaper article

Like the idea of the gift bags savvy but don't have a sewing machine

The bags do look good though don't they:T

I promise the link is there - just click on the word This in my earlier post

Like THIS :rotfl: - any word in blue is usually a hyperlink

Moda release collections of fabrics, a jellyroll is a pack of 40 (I think) strips of all the fabrics in the collection. They are usually aimed at quilters, it's a nice way to have bits of a lot of coordinating fabrics. I used to buy them when I quilted, no time for quilting these days I'll try knitting some later or crochet and I'll show you how they look.

This is the one I thought you'd like poppy, it's called A Little Romance.....



Might be an expensive way to make the bags, if you don't already have them though

that looks good where do they sell them ?

goodfairy I used long strips that were
just ripped into 2 inch strips,I noticed
that your fabric was really pretty this
fabric below is a really bad mis printed
piece.I dont think it matters too much
about the reverse showing but I think
with this piece the main colour was quite
a strong one.I wonder if this is something
that you have to look at the overall
shade and not the design as you would do
with anything else you make.I kind of think
having done this pale pastels would work
well of strong darker colours.
