Zebra and Leopard Rag Purse with Coin Purse

I had an order to make for a couple of rag purses with a coin purse to go with. I posted the purses the other day, but I wanted to show you the coin purses I made to match. I had fun making them because it was my first zipper attempt. Granted, it did give me some issues with trying to keep it from catching the fabric but I fixed it. I started out using an 9 inch zipper only because I couldnt find any smaller ones. I cutand inch off and tapered it off with a little trick I learned from a lady on Pinterest. It leaves a nice finish on the zipper to the coin purse. I will come back and adjust this post with better information. Thanks for dropping by.

Leopard Rag Purse

I made this special request rag quilt purse for my friend's daughter. She is 7 yrs old. This purse measures 10X10X2. I made a 5X10 pocket that is on the inside and kept the leopard print as the inside as well. The top middle square is black, but you cant tell in the photo because of the button. Now, I will be making a matching wallet or a change purse to go with this. The more its washed and dried, the more raggedy the purse will be. I sell my little girls rag purses for $30 which are the size of this one, the larger ones (adult size measures 12x12 or bigger are for $35 and up. Let me know if you are interested. This will be a surprise to her daughter. Now, I have to make her sister one.

Zebra Rag Purse

I made this for a friends of mine's daughter for her birthday. She is turning 7. I adjusted the blocks accordingly to make it look more the size of a little girl instead of using larger blocks for an adult. I like the outcome. This measures 10X10 and I made a pocket inside (tidius to do) so she can carry her lipgloss. I loved how it came out and hope she'll enjoy it too. Every little girl at her birthday party loved her purse. Now, I got a few more orders to make more. Whoo Who!

Duck Cloth Zumba Tote Bag

Well, I have decided to make a bigger tote bag for my sister for her Zumba class. This one measures 16x16 and has lots of pockets, inside and out. It has wider straps too. I just love working with Duck Cloth, have you tried it yet? I'm happy with the bag but I am not happy with the wide straps, but it will make do. I added piping to the outside pockets too and made each pocket about 3 1/2 wide. Perfect for her cell phone, keys, and even her water bottle. There are 6 pockets on the inside too. I hope my sister likes this, if not, I can make another one. Have a great day.

Duck Cloth Polka Dot Tote Bg

I saw this cute Duck Cloth fabric at Hobby Lobby but I really had no idea how to work with it. It's simple. It sews really well. I actually wanted to make a tote bag for my sister who started Zumba, so she can keep her towel, water, and keys in it. Well, this one came up a little smaller because I wasnt paying too much attention to where I was cutting, so I accidently cut the wrong fabric piece that was on my cutting table. So this bag will be my model. It's cute though, do you think so?

Starfish Batik Shoulder Purse

One day recently I wanted to make a bag for ME, that's right...ME! I'm always making something for others and never think about me. Why is that? Because I like doing and making things for others. I have always been like that. But there comes a time, where you have to think of yourself also. So I did. I made me a purse. The fabric I used was given to me a long time ago by my mom. I love this print but I really didn't want to cut it up and use it in a quilt. So, I used it to make a purse. This is just a simple roll-up purse. I can put things in it and roll it up if I didnt want to carry it like a shoulder bag. I used the same print as the lining as I did for the outside of the bag. I used a velcor closure as that I'm still learning to add zippers to my purses. I really wish I had more of this fabric but I'm glad that I finally used the fabric. I love it. Do you?

Pink and Brown Paisley Rag Purse

My friend asked me to make a rag purse in these colors for her daughter. But I think I need to make it a little smaller as this one fits my shoulder. Ah well, I love making these so it doesnt matter. I will try and sell this one. I added 6 small pockets on the inside of the bag too. The strap is ragged too. I think it came out cute but wished it was the 10x10 size. The larger ones like this, is 12x12. I like how they wash up, the more dried, the more raggedy they get. Have a wonderful day.

Cowboy Crayon Tote Bag Holder

I just love making these cute little crayon tote bags. This measures 15x15 and the slots are one inch for the crayons. I made this bag for a friend whose kids carry their crayons in plastic bags everywhere. This would be perfect for them. I love the fabric which I got at Hobby Lobby and it went together so well. Just need the right time to give it to her. I used the tote bag belting as the handle as it is a little more sturdier to carry the coloring books. I made extra pockets to hold other items in the bag also. What do you think?

Crayon Tote Bag Holder Tote Bag

Since making tote bags, I have decided that making a tote bag with crayons would be perfect for the mom on the go. This bag measures 16X16 and holds 24 crayons perfect into the one inch slots that I have made across the middle. Front and back. The inside holds about 5 coloring books. Now, my friends kids dont have to carry a plastic bag to carry their coloring supplies in. They can use this bag. See you next time.

Flowered Girls Flap Purse

All of a sudden I am into making purses, tote bags, and just about anything to carry things in. I wanted to get out of my comfort zone of making quilts to making little things. I am learning as I go, but at the same time, I'm having fun. This is a purse I saw on Pinterest, I will be back later to add the ladies name. I added a snap for a closure and my piping for the first time. It was a little confusing at first, but after doing it, I'll be making more of these. I just love the bright colorful designs of this bag.

Penguin Nine Patch Block

A friend of mine was having a baby and her nursery was Penguins. I decided to make her a baby quilt in Penguins. I'm lucky to have found any penguins in the fabric stores, saw alot online but didnt have time to do that. I needed it now. I ended up finding this print at Joanns. I loved how this came out, as my friend did too. Back to more sewing, see you soon.

Hanna Montana Bandana Quilt

I saw these Hanna Montana bandana's at Hobby Lobby for 10 cents each. I bought all 8 of them and decided to make a lap size quilt out of them. They arent the best things to work with, as though they werent the easiest to iron. Every time I would iron the wrinkles out the image shrunk. Weird. So I only used 6 of the bandanas. I used some old fabric for the backside and it worked out great. I dont know what I'm going to do with it though, maybe hang onto it until I know a little girl who likes her. Talk to you later.

Deer Log Cabin Quilt

WOW1, It's been that long since I have been keeping up on my blog. Almost 2 years. Lots of things have been happening and little time to keep up with it. I will try and keep it up as that I have been doing quite of bit of sewing lately. I wanted to make something special for a friend of mine whose into hunting and outdoors. So, I made him this Log Cabin quilt. It has deer in it and it worked out great. This is a lap size and I just used a basic quilting stitch. I wanted to get it done in a timely manner. Have a wonderful day.
