Today is Independence Day, a day when most are spending time with family and friends, having BBQs, going swimming and watching fireworks. I was not fortunate enough to be able to do any of that this year because as kids get older they like to spend time with their friends, not their Mom :(
So rather than feel sorry for myself I decided to go through my fabric stash and find some beautiful fabric to make something with. I chose this delicious Cotton Candy in lime by Sweetwater for Clothworks. And I designed this new bag that I named The Madison Bag.
This bag has 2 pockets on the front that have fold down flaps. They are adorned with 2 of my fabric flowers. :) There is a nice roomy zippered pocket on the inside and my method for installing it is a breeze. You can find it here. Please visit my Etsy shop for more tutorials.
So while others were eating their BBQ I was enjoying my Cotton Candy!
wow i love this bag, the colours are fab!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie! I love the colors too. I bought this fat quarter combo a few months ago 'cuz I just had to have it. And I waited to use it until I came up with the perfect thing. And I even had a brown zipper in my stash to go with it. It was fate!
ReplyDeleteAww, sorry about your kids not wanting to hang out :( At least this cute bag came out of it!
ReplyDeleteOh how cute! I love those colors. How adorable!
