Another Everyday bag

just had to do another bag

this is a gift for my daughter

she loves everything black & white

I love this stitch on my Pfaff QE4

Stitch number 56 - length 9  - width 9
 I used a varigated black & white rayon embrodiery thread to embellish the seam edges.

that's my boy in the background PC

( he is a beautiful ragdoll cat who is the biggest sook & personality plus)

Again it is stripped pieces of fabric with a quilt as you go method on a foundation .

This time I did a contrasting red lining

and

I used boning in the handles to make them stand up……

some of  my past experiences of making wedding dresses

has its benefits with this project.

An Everyday Bag

Love making bags as an afternoon project.

The denim look this bag has is ideal to go with most blue jeans & is the perfect size  for a quick trip to shops…

35 cm width  by 25cm length and 7 cm wide

I used strip piecing,

stitching pieces together with  a quilt as you go method of construction.

This bag gave me a chance to use a couple of the different embroidery stitches

on my Pfaff Quilt Expression 4

Denim Jeans Bag

 I needed a bag with lots of pockets for work

 something that could carry all my stuff;

 A4 folders, A4 diary as well as lots of pens,  portable hard drive, keys, laptop, chargers etc.

Solution

An old pair of jeans I had cut the legs off to patch another pair of jeans.

It had lots of pockets some nice and deep.

 I stitched up the bottom of the jeans,

Stitched up the zipper section,

 Added handles,

  Made a lining with a divider in it

and

A couple of extra inside pockets,

Add some pretty buttons.

Fits my folders perfectly & is not to heavy to carry around

and

most of all

Lots of pockets so I can stay organiser with the stuff I carry around.

A Quick Easy Solution that looks pretty.
