Dream Bag


Hi!

I just finished my bag...and I am so happy with it! It really is my dream bag. I didn't have a pattern or anything, I just knew what I wanted and started making it. I put in loads of pockets inside, that is something I really needed.

I have been dreaming of one bag that would fit every outfit and was big enough to carry all my junk, but not so big that I couldn't use it everyday. I made it of small pieces of favorite fabric. The are cut in a thimble shape. I used ones that were a bit pail "dirty" in their color. I made the bag to look a bit old and oversized...the pleads and puckers are meant to be there..

On the inside it has on one side, 2 pockets with zippers...one big one and a smaller one. One the other side there is one more big pocket with a zipper and a some smaller pockets without zippers for my mobile, wallet ....


It has a 14" hexagon-snap. I really liked the snap, because that means that the bag really is closed, and you don't have to worry about pickpockets and so on...

I am now looking for a good pattern for a little pouch (like a small make-up bag) for putting my handsewing in. Have a good link to a free pattern??..please let me know..



We also had a raffle last week at my Local quilt guild. This was first price. One of my husbands college's won a smaller quilt...

Well, I am on my way soon to the big sale at the LQS...!
