That was my new order..."a Butterfly Bag, lime green and black...something fun". A friend of one of my sisters admired her bag, a brown and cream animal print Sugar and Spice Bag by Chris W Designs that I had made for her. After looking at my blog, she decided to place this order for her own bag.
I sent her a picture of the lime green and black fabric that I had and here was her selection...
The Butterfly Bag was the February bag in the Bag of the Month Club by Janelle of Emmaline Bags. It is a fun bag to see come together and it is a very practical bag as well. Here is how the bag turned out...
I still need to make the March bag of the month but not until I complete 2 more orders. Can I make it before April??? Not much time left. I lost 2 weeks of sewing while on vacation and have been suffering with tendonitis in my right shoulder for almost 3 weeks. Sewing but not as quickly because I need to take more breaks. The clock is ticking...
I really like this pattern, and I especially like what you did with it. You inspire me with the pleather that you use. I was out shopping and found some good pleather possibilities at Hobby Lobby--a little less $$ than JoAnn's. I'd like to get some sometime.
ReplyDeleteI picked up some yoga frog fabric, too. I look forward to making something with that! I laugh every time I look at it.
I hope that your tendonitis gets better soon, and I'm glad that it doesn't completely prevent you from sewing. Take care!

Thanks, Krista. Went to the doctor finally yesterday after playing around with this for 3 weeks, so with the Rx she gave me, I'm hoping this will put me over the hump to get completely healed.
DeleteWould love to see what you make with the yoga frog. I'm not a frog person, but it makes me smile, too.
Hope you feel better soon. I love the fabrics for the Sugar & Spice bag. I too have an order for that bag but the lady I'm making it for wants it in creams and browns. I also have the Jan and Feb bag still to make and like you I also have a couple of orders to finish before I can get started on them. We seem to lead similar lives. LOLLL
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to making the butterfly bag. I think I'll make it into a clutch rather than a bag though. Yours looks great.
Thanks, Maria. it's fun to learn that others are sewing with me :) Nothing is better than being busy, right.
DeleteMarilyn I love the bold flowers on the front of the bag. It turned out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Daryl. I bought that fabric a month or two ago when I was dreaming about spring. We've had a very cold and snowy winter.
DeleteGreat color combination and contrast! The bag is awesome! I already made my bags for February and March and really want to make more of them. They are great!! I'm looking forward to the April bag. I hope you get better soon so you can keep sewing!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Norma. This was actually my 4th Butterfly Bag. I haven't shown them all. Ready for the Convertible Bag and hope to get to it soon.
DeleteI love this fabric! Do you remember where you got it, or the name?
ReplyDeleteDyan,
DeleteYou are a no reply commenter which means I can't email you directly. I got this fabric one of two places. Either Hobby Lobby or JoAnn's. I checked the selvedge and it only has the top half of the printing on it so I can see no name. I had some left but bought more a few months ago. The only reason I probably would have done that is if it was on clearance and I was afraid I wouldn't find it anymore.
