A bag for Teacher Zahirah

She came a few days ago looking for a bag to house the students report cards..A ready made bag at my shop caught her attention but the design was not appropriate. The size and the structure was just what she wanted.So she chose two matching fabric and i made one just the same but added 2 side pockets , one large exterior pockets and a magnetic snap button for closure....voila.................

i like this frill pouch

scrap buster...

This pink combos are remnants or stash or scrap...whatever you call it....from a past baby mosses cover project i made last year.It has turn into a sweet pouch.Take a look below....................

Quick,easy to make.Great for beginners..For the more advance lass you can try attaching stabliser or interfacing to give it a more sturdy look.

The joy in bag making..

Dark clouds in the morning,heavy rain at 9.30 am and continued raining till 11 am..Nothing much to do outside..nice day to turn the pages of book The Bag Making Bible by Lisa Lam..I managed to whip up this reversible bucket back in this mournful black and white combo fabric in 2 hours,manage to chase the blues away from my heart...even for a while...

As usual...i always have problems with the bias binding...huhuhu...

My almost perfect cosmo bag....

Today i can smile from ear to ear.I am so happy that i have fully digested Amy Butler's tutorial with the help from fellow blogger Jemellia..This time i really enjoy the making process although my first try was a failure...And this is the living proof..huhuhu

The view inside...4 large pockets

Side view...deep pocket at both sides

New fabric found..

While searching for white cotton fabrics for my 30 single bed skirt project i stumble upon these polka dotted materials in pink,black and white..They are gorgeous for bag making.... hmm...what else that inspire me most..

That black polka dot somehow matches this animal print fabric from ikea.

Actually this fabric belongs to Fatin ..It has now turn into a tab curtain for the door to her bed room.But now it is hung on to my meter ruler...huhuhu

Its going to take a while before i can start making any bags.I am rather short of staff.My priority is still curtains and bed skirts..So i will just seat and gaze at these beauties till i can find the right time to sew...
