Bags, Bags, and more bags
« on: Jan 06, 2010, 11:43:20 PM »
So my theme for this year is bags... Jessica made a bag today, and both of our Sarah's have made bags... so let's share them all here!

My first two of the year...  Made on long Knifty Knitter Looms (working on instructions)

For myself


And for Alyssa.

We are all under the same stars, therefore we are never far apart.

Cool, Triss. It is easier to see the detail on Lys' blue one. Those look good
Friends are like bras, close to your heart and all about support

It is meant to be a reusable shopping bag (that is what the pattern considered it) but I use it as a beach bag.  Glad you thought it looked like that too.  It works great for it!

I got a pattern for reusable shopping bags that I am going to try out.  I also have a picture of a jean square bag on my cell that I am going to copy this week.  Lemme see if I can get that up here.

I love that orange and black bag!! I can totally see why you would want to copy it.  It would be a great GS project -- that is just awesome.  The mouse in my head is really burning up his little spinner thingy.

Oh I know Sarah... mine is already going nuts.  I will be getting black and orange flannel if I can find it to make a couple of bags for the kids teachers for an end of year gift.

I think the girl scouts could sell them.

That is a really good idea!  The mouse is making his wheel smoke, now!!

That is a good idea now that I think about it more.  Our girls are doing a year long community service project where they are making things to give to women in an assisted living home.  They could sew a bag and use the bag as the holder for all of their other gifts.

Assisted living is where they are taken out on excursions once in a while so they could use a bag of some sort too.  We knew a person in an assisted living place and she had a blast.

With what the girls have been making, we figured that the ladies in assisted living would appreciate and be able to use them more than a nursing home.  So far they have canned jelly and made scarves.

Yep, they'll love it.  My little friend would love having home made jelly.

Fortunately they are not all in the same day.  I have grand plans for bags but have not done any since school started this week.

I keep having to stop myself, Triss.  I'll go downstairs and think, I should really look at my fabric while I'm down here.  But, I can't start another project right now.  In a week.  I can start a new project in a week!!

This one is a little bigger than the first one I made...


This one is the biggest but it is hard to tell because I have yarn in it.



I figure that I will make a few different sizes until I decide which size I like the best.  It is always nice to have different sizes anyway.
