Morning everyone

I finished my bag yesterday that I was making with the Cath Kidston fabric.



There are some more photos on my blog. It was not too bad to make up but I think if I had had a proper pattern to follow it would have been easier as I wasn't too sure of how to assemble it in the right order making hard work of some of it which I am sure there would have been an easier way.

I have a shopping bag cut out now to make up using the green fabric with the roses on. I might do another shoulder bag as well, like a flatter one with a pocket on the side.

Love the bag! I am into bags big time!
I am taking my sewing machine and a carrier bag full of fabric and bits and pieces, so that when DGD is asleep I can play around if I feel like it!
I get creative when i am on holiday, and get frustrated if I cant do anything. (However sometimes I have taken stuff and never touched it, but at least I have it if I want it!).

Hi everyone

I love your bag Rufus :T I love Cath Kidston fabric and one day will treat myself to some from her website.

I made another Amelie bag this weekend (in-between getting burnt gardening )
This is the one that gave me grief :rotfl:


This is the front, I love this Michael Miller fabric (Ebay ) and the pockets are Laura Ashley

The back, this time I managed the zip pocket with ease I have loads of the cream fabric I used for the lining so the only real expence was the Mickael Miller fabric for this bag.

The Amelie bag is gorgeous - is the pattern available online or to buy?

I have some of that Michael Miller fabric on order and can't wait for it to arrive now!

Great bag rufus. Looking at the other photos on your blog there is so much detail to it; I love the pockets under the flap.
And how lucky are you to have a son who buys you fabric?!
Happy belated birthday!

Hart your bag is gorgeous too, I absolutely love the fabrics. How frustrating to think you'd done it wrong when you hadn't!

Hi annie
I brought the pattern from this blog site. I paid for the 2 bags at $19 (converted to £11.59 through Paypal).
You get 2 bag patterns and very easy to read instructions with pic's + she gives instructions and pattern for the small Amelie bags with instructions for a very big bag, well worth the money
Also if you sign up for her newsletters you get quilting patterns for free every month

Hart I love your bag, that fabric is lovely. I like Michael Miller fabrics too.

I have sewn up my other bag this morning, its just a shopping sort of bag bu it matches the shoulder bag. I have plenty of fabric left over to make some more, not sure what kind to make out of it now. Heres a photo of the shopping bag.

I like some of Michaels fabric's but some is a bit to modern for me but the french post fabric is more like the thing I go for just lately (Im getting real girly in my old age :rotfl:)

All the bag makes are absolutely fab. The fabrics used are brilliant.
My recent make is not bags....but Sam the Sausage doggie


Made with a mans pair of sausage covered socks. He was a real pain to make so he's going to be an only child!

He's gorgeous Pennib, so cute. I can imagine what a pain he was to make, I had a go at making sock monkeys a few years ago. I didnt have my sewing machine back then so had to sew them all by hand.

I made another bag this afternoon, this time a little hand bag. Thought it would be nice if we go out of an evening in the summer months. I found some videos on You Tube, there is a link to one of the videos on my blog and a photo of the inside of the bag.
