It's in the pink and grey bag

So I went back to Ikea the next day to get the fabric panel, it was gawn, gawn, gawn. I was sad. But my trip past the fabric section inspired me. I bought a whole bunch o colours for a new batch of bags. And I like this fabric more. The bag stands up a little better.


I adjusted the pattern, as I didn't like the zipper idea, but am familiar with the..."I wish I had a little more room in this bag" feeling. So I extended the fabric for the zipper panel and made it to be a drawstring extension.


I also extended the handles to allow more room when the inside panel is in use. I dragged out my mother's mini serger to make the insides nice and neat. I'm very happy with this bag and feel confident enough to sell it. And I have some more cut out already to be sewn. yeah. I even prewashed the fabric. Usually, I'm too eager for such things, but I wanted it to be well made.


Thanks for looking,

Ikea Panel sewn Bag

Sorry, couldn't come up with a title...
But Look what I MADE LOOK WHAT I MADE!!!!!!


I bought this pattern on my 1st trip to Fabricland a few weeks ago and have been waiting for the right fabric. On a trip to Ikea yesterday, i SCORED!! This is a curtain panel. It has all of this in one piece of fabric. And I still have the pink/yellow, Orange/white, Blue/white colour combos to explore.
This is the small version. (it holds a diaper, diaper wipe box, cell phone, keys, compact, crochet pencil case, granola bar and a few more things.) My DH was even excited about it and wants me to make the big one for myself so DD can have the little one. I can see us now, matching dresses, bags, Oh dear.

The patterns calls for a zipper, but I didn't have one so I used a snap. I have some ideas to change it up for the next one. I will add a lining and a pocket inside I think. Can't wait to get to the sewing room again.

thanks for looking,
