Fabric Fun Galore...

Since my stamp room is still under construction (UGH!!!! Don't even get me started!!!)...I have been spending some time sewing. (And actually having fun...although I am NOT a seamstress AT ALL and such a beginner.) For Valentine's Day...I decided to make some of these rag bags for my daughter's preschool teacher and classroom helpers. I also made one for my daughter. Here are all of the bags I made posing together...
Aren't they so much fun and cute?!?!? I almost couldn't give them away. I made them with the Scallop Square die. I also used the Flower Folds die for the flower on the bag. Here is a close-up of one of the flowers...

I sewed two pieces of ribbon together (they are both retired) to give it a sturdy handle and I love the look!!!! Here is a full shot of one of the bags...

On the inside I cut a piece of chipboard (located in the back of the catalog with the Big Shot stuff) to the size of the bottom of the bag. Then I covered with fabric and added it to the purse so it has a sturdy base. Here is a pic...

And of course you want a side view also so here you go...

Now don't lok too close at the actual sewing. Hoping these bags stay together. :) My daughter's seems to be doing just fine so far (so if it can hold up under the use of a 4 year old...I think I'm ok!). I would LOVE to hear what you think about these! :)

Thanks for visiting! Hope you enjoy!
