Title: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: duh on Mar 22, 2010, 08:27:32 AM

I saw some totes at the quilt show that were priced at 15.00 each and above.  It seemed steep to me but then I'm on a fixed budget.

that is a hard guess triss. but when you figure it out, let me know.  i'm interested.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Penny on Mar 23, 2010, 06:57:02 AM

I would pay 15.00 for a quilted bag.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on Mar 23, 2010, 09:26:44 PM

These are not quilted though.  I have gotten people saying anywhere from 25 down to 10 and I just have no clue.  I did figure out it costs about 10 in material and about 3 hours of straight work.

Post by: bayou girl on Mar 23, 2010, 10:41:31 PM

triss, it is one of those things that you will not make your money out of them if you include your time. but i would like to see you turn a profit.  they do look good though.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Penny on Mar 24, 2010, 06:54:24 AM

Its too bad you couldnt stock pile enough and sell them at a craft fair/booth.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on Mar 24, 2010, 08:21:52 PM

I could do that as well.  If someone makes an offer on one I have ready to go, I will see it.  Otherwise I will save them.

I finished up a few more gift bags last week...

Beautiful fabric, Triss!  They are fun and easy to make, aren't they?

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on Apr 26, 2010, 11:24:40 PM

They are... I want to start buying the leftovers that WM keeps in a shopping cart so I can have a wide variety of them.  I got lucky last week and scored some Thomas the train fabric, enough to make Mikey a bag like Charlies.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Penny on Apr 27, 2010, 05:56:09 AM

I like those ones Triss, very colorful.

Thanks everyone.  I really do like Jessica's pattern.

Those would make a good purse for when you are carrying only your walet, and dont want to lug a big bag.

Post by: Triss on Apr 28, 2010, 01:49:39 PM

That is a good idea Penny.  What uses have you found for yours Sheri?  Right now all the ones I have made are just sitting in a box... of course all of my stuff is like that right now.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Jessica on Apr 28, 2010, 02:23:37 PM

I carry my lunch in one, I use them to haul around my knitting and have also used them for books.  Tristen has used his as an overnight bag when he stays at grandma's, to haul his swimming stuff and also to take some toys along.  I love them.  They are very versatile.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on Apr 28, 2010, 02:42:15 PM

Mine are too small for those kinds of things but I can see bigger ones being used for the stuff you do.  I think once I get my craft room set up at the new house, I will have to make some bigger ones for my projects.  I always have more than one going and it would be nice to be able to hang them up out of the way.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Jessica on Apr 28, 2010, 03:02:28 PM

Yes, if you are doing afghans they definitely wouldn't be big enough.  I use them for smaller projects.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on Apr 28, 2010, 07:55:26 PM

But they would work for scarves.  I use the larger bags I make for my afghans.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: bestofour on Apr 28, 2010, 08:17:50 PM

I have library books in mine right now Triss.  It's the perfect size.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on Apr 28, 2010, 09:22:22 PM

That is great Sheri.  I get too many books at one time for that to work for me.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Penny on Apr 29, 2010, 06:08:01 AM

Or bags for the kids, those would be great for that.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on May 26, 2010, 02:04:53 PM

Just got my latest bag out of the dryer... It is a theme bag for our schools... both of them actually as the Tigers were the mascot for our old school and new.  A lady at our new grocery store asked if I made bags in these colors cuz she liked the one I have been using.  I am going to take it over to her and see if she is interested in buying it.

Very nice, Triss. I take it that is orange and not as red as it looks in the photo?

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on May 26, 2010, 02:28:14 PM

Yes it is orange... not very good light today with it being cloudy and rainy.  The fabric reminds me of lava.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Jessica on May 26, 2010, 03:09:54 PM

That is great, Triss!  Hopefully she will buy it and spread the word.  Maybe you can make a little extra cash making them!

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on May 26, 2010, 05:44:18 PM

That is the hope Jessica.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on May 26, 2010, 10:26:57 PM

Thanks.  I started work on my bag today.  The one I am using now is too small and the handle is too short.  It also has no pockets which I really need.  I ran out of thread though.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: bayou girl on May 26, 2010, 10:30:42 PM

see, that's why i want to make my own bags.  handle length and pockets.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on May 26, 2010, 10:38:33 PM

I need one pocket for my phone and one for my smokes... so I used two back pockets...

This is the side of my new bag... more greens, my favorite color...

And the pocket which will be on the inside...  there will be a pocket on the other side as well.

cool. It is fun  to see it in a half done state. That is going to be pretty

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on May 26, 2010, 10:42:19 PM

I think it will be great Tina.  I love these bags because they are so forgiving... one does not have to be exact because once it frays, it hides all of the imperfections.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: bayou girl on May 26, 2010, 10:49:41 PM

oh gosh.  ok.  handles that i can put it on my shoulder, but it doesn't drag the floor if it slides down my arm.

2-3 outside pockets.  for keys, chapstick,  checkbook, note pad.  my current purse has the perfect outside pockets but the inside sucks.

inside would be one zipper pocket for the things i don't want to lose if it tips, my pocket knife, tweezers, nail clipers, etc.  then other, random sized pockets inside to organized.  but not an "organized" bag.  if that makes sense.  the best bag i ever had was one of those quilted jobs that was popular a while back.  had pockets on each end (just right for the cell phone) and a patch pocket on the front and back (perfect for the other stuff i mentioned).  then, inside, there were a total of 6 pockets, but they were really just one big pocket that was divided when the handles were sewn on.  the only thing it didn't have was a flat bottom (one thing i like about your jean bags).  but the way the pockets inside were made, it didn't need a zipper for the inside pockets.  i can take a picture of it if you want.  i still have it, frayed handles and all.  oh, and it has to be washable.  i am hard on them :giggle:  the only other thing i'd say is that i carry a bigger bag than i would other wise because i carry 4 pill bottles with me at all times.  2 are pills that can't be put in a pill box (labeling legalities) and 2 that i prefer to keep in the original bottle because i don't take them often and would forget what they were.  then, there is my camera, brush, wallet, etc.

and, i love the multi color of your current bag in the works.  would match everything i own!

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on May 27, 2010, 12:58:41 AM

Yes, a picture would be great.  Sounds like a great bag.  What dimensions would be the best for the length, width, handles?

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Penny on May 27, 2010, 07:19:22 AM

I love those Triss......how cool!

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: sunsoaker on May 27, 2010, 07:22:06 AM

I like the colors on this bag. Very colorful without being overly bright. You do nice work on all your projects. Is there anything you can't make?

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Jessica on May 27, 2010, 09:38:28 AM

Your bag looks great so far, Triss.  I'm sure it will be just as beautiful as the rest!

Post by: Triss on May 27, 2010, 11:59:36 AM

Oh I hope not Barb... I like to think I could manage anything I tried but who knows.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: sunsoaker on May 27, 2010, 01:11:02 PM

That was a rhetorical question, as I'm sure anything you tried to make would turn out perfect. You have talent and an eye for color.

Post by: Tina on May 30, 2010, 07:52:23 PM

Very cute. I made Jonni one of those a few years ago and then she made a few of her own. But she is into bigger (more expensive) purses these days.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on May 30, 2010, 07:59:52 PM

I am sure Lys will get into those more expensive ones as well but for now these make her very happy.  She said she was going to use it to hold her phone and chapstick on days she wears her capri's with no pockets.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: bayou girl on May 30, 2010, 08:16:54 PM

i like that triss.  and like that she has a clue about having pockets when she doesn't.

Post by: Triss on May 30, 2010, 08:27:09 PM

She is one smart cookie... She tried getting rid of a pair of pants the other day cuz it didn't have pockets and she carries stuff around all of the time...  this pocket purse will help that.

Good idea Wrennie... thanks!

I thought I would include a pacifier for the pocket along with the gift, if I gift it.  I want to make some smaller ones as well but I know I used the largest diaper bag I could find for my older kiddos.

I have an older... 20 years or so Limited Home USA machine that my dad bought me.  It sat pretty much unused for the first 10 years of its life and rarely used for the next 5... it is only in the last 5 years or so that I have given it the use it deserves.

Post by: Tina on Aug 14, 2010, 09:27:49 PM

Awesome, Triss.
I think, as they are slowly doing away with grocery bags here, I might make some. I want ones where the handles go all the way around the bottom for extra strength. I have seen too many store bought bag's handles tear loose with canned goods and heavy things added.

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: Triss on Aug 14, 2010, 09:43:51 PM

I am sure eventually that everywhere will get rid of in store bags and we will all be using reusable ones.  I will have to try a reinforced basic shopping bag one of these days.  Of course I will also have to try actually taking my own bags, the ones I made for me, to the store when I go shopping.  :Blush:

How did it work out for the groceries Jen?  I have not used that style in the grocery store yet (see note above about forgetting them here at home)

Thank you all!

Title: Re: Bags, Bags, and more bags 2
Post by: bayou girl on Aug 15, 2010, 01:30:36 PM

it worked fine.  i would do a few things different if i were making it.  interfacing in the bottom for example.  the bottom is a little "floppy" for shopping.   but it worked well.  i liked that it rolls up nice and small, and can go from shopping to crochet bag in an instant.

i should be better at typing...

My niece asked for a smaller version of my striped bags... this is what I came up with.  I hope she likes it, I do not care for the size too much... way to small for my needs.

i like it.  i think she will too.  my girls both carried small purses until they started working.  now they carry slightly larger ones.  but next year, when babies arrive... :giggle:

Yes, next year will be another story.
Great job, Triss. Of course it is hard to tell the size is any different from your others. Something for contrast next time might help.

Good idea... it is about half the size of the other bags... 9" tall by 7" wide.  I do love the colors though... I am partial to greens.

I think that is just lovely, Triss. I'm with the girls, I like small purses.

They're both nice. I prefer blue to green too but that green fabric is cool!

Triss, you do great work. Is this for someone specific? Or are you planning to sell it?

That ones nice too. As for stiffening the bottoms for shopping, the fabric bags I have and (should) reuse (more) there is a stiff piece of, uh, vinyl I guess. Which is removable when washing.

I am going to put that one up to sell.  I need to check around and see if others are making similar ones to get a price range.

I have seen those inserts in other bags of mine from the grocery stores.
