Another project lol

[Leigh]

So.. I got to thinking today looking at the bibs I made last night..

Geez.. these would make awfully cute little hand bags..

So then I altered my pattern a bit.. and voila!

A Halloween hand bag!



I showed my prototype to my sister and she's in love with it. Lol I need to make a few changes to the handle... but otherwise, I'm quite happy with how it turned out!

Adorable!

Kinda OT, where do you get your fabric?

ETA: Remember the days when you could go around with a little bag like that and think nothing of it? No diapers, snacks, change of clothes just in case... LOL!

Alllll over. Lol Some I order online, some I get at fabric land, some at walmart. It depends where I can get a good deal lol I also recycle alot of old clothes and blankets and such. lol

The skulls I actually got at White Oaks Wal Mart. It was super cheap too. 3.49/m I believe.

LOL I was just telling DH I needed to go to Goodwill to buy some fabric (read: clothes to cut up) when it occurred to me that maybe I should buy actual fabric and *gasp* use a pattern! LOL

I have never bought a pattern in my life.

I make all of my own, or just wing it.
I find something similiar.. or tear something apart if I need too. Lol

Sometimes its really hard to find a fabric you like, but you can find it in a shirt or something.. so just rip that sucker apart LOL

We should venture out as a team, you do the sewing and I'll do the knitting??? *shy emote*??

If you can get your hand on some fabric with a dance theme, talk to me HUGE! I would love a handbag with a dance theme, awesome!

[Leigh]

You hunt down the fabric, and I'd make one for you FA

[FlowerAngel]

Hmm............I may have to contact a company in Toronto for that but I'll see what I can scare up!! Wanna trade for a couple of hats for your boys, seems I've developed an addiction again to making hats!
