As you may know I love a good bag, so when I saw that Christine was hosting a Bag Loving Blog Hop, well I just had to sign up :)
I have made a few bags in the last couple of years starting with bags for the bridesmaids at my son and daughter-in-law's wedding
I actually made 10 bags so that each bridesmaid had more than one to choose from, the front three in this photo made the final cut.
Then there was the ZigZag tote from the Zakka-style SAL, those zigzags caused me no end of problems, but they were worth it in the end.
Lisa Lam's great Kyoko Frilled Pouch pattern was the blueprint for my next set of wedding bags, this time for myself and my son's girlfriend.
My Babushka Backpack, a tutorial for Quiet Play's Practically Paper Piecing Blog Hop.
Finally getting to grips with Amy Butler's Bag Patterns for this Miss Maven Ruffled Handbag
And my most recent bag, pattern testing the Locked and Loaded Bag for Sew Sweetness.
So you see it is true a girl can never have too many handbags!

Lovely bags, but I am intrigued by the list duration - at the moment there are 2546 days until it closes, lol
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I wish I was more of a bag maker. Perhaps your lovely blog hop will inspire me to become one.
ReplyDeleteYou've done a great selection :o) I always give the ones I've made away, apparently you can have too many handbags :oD
