Hobo Bag remodeled

Make up bag. I used the Pink Sand beach Designs glam bag pattern. The designer is Nancy Greene. She is so nice and does a fabulous job with her patterns. I have picked up so many ideas from her and discovered things I had been searching for.

I made 4 hobo bags by drawing the shape on newspaper and cutting them out. They wer a huge success and I thought I might just try to tweak the pattern a bit.

First Try

I added a side/bottom gusset and an outside small pocket for my cell phone.

This is the City Girl oversize daisy pattern which I am crazy about!!!

I made a make up bag to match it.

2 new make up bags

This is a tutorial I got on the internet and it was taken from a Japanese craft book. I love it. The fabric is Pumpkins Gone Wild by Moda.
Take a peek at the inside too.
This is something I just made up using some remnant fabric from I bought in Lexington, Ky.
I put a zipper top and 1 slip in pocket and a loop. I like the way this one turned out.

New Spring Purse

My Posting is sort of backwards today, because I added more pictures after I had written and don't know how to rearrange them. Keep reading and looking at the pictures. Back side of the eyeglass case.
Check book holder I pieced and quilted.
The other side follows and also an inside view.

Inside view of the clutch/wallet described below.















This is my new spring purse which has basically the same colors as the quilted bag with the braided handled. I made accessories that match each bag so I can carry either one I want now.


This bag was made using the Flea Market Bag pattern and Michael Miller fabric on the outside and exclusively quilters on the inside. Great match.


I made slip in pockets for the inside on both sides and used a magnetic closure.





Even though I used Pellon Decor on both the outside and the inside, it has a sloppy look and very fresh and casual-great for spring and summer. It is very lightweight and can be used as a hand or shoulder bag. I love it.





I think the next one of these I make I will try sew in interfacing, like the pattern called for. LOL I always have to deviate somehow.

This make up bag I made with Michael Miller fabrics outside and inside and used the YKK vislon activewear zipper, which is my absolute favorite zipper in the world.
This is the clutch bag pattern by kwik but I altered it by adding a looper and inside I added an extra pocket separation. I use this for a wallet and love it. This Michael Miller is absolutely gorgeous.
This is the glasses case I made by piecing and quilting and using decorative stitches. It wound up so thick I couldn't fold it over, so it is larger than I intended but I love it. I am going wild adding loopers to everything.
