My friend TJ (aka Traceylea) has been coming over on Fridays for Bag making & sewing lessons. TJ & her family are heading over to the UK in May, for her DH's work - they will be gone for a year+ (sniff, sniff). She is planning to take 2 important pieces of machinery with her - her pink Kitchenmaid mixer and her Sewing Machine (of course). This Fridays lesson was the PVC covered bag.
I made one too, as a sample for work using some of the new fabrics in store.
I made another sample bag using the Amy Butler fabric - can you guess what pattern I used?
Yes, another Pleated Beauty Bag, this one has longer handles so it can be worn on the shoulder or across the body. See, I do make things with the fabric I buy - eventually :)
With Love
PS - HAPPY 65th BIRTHDAY (and semi-retirement) to my Dad for Monday 16th March, Love ya heaps & have a great day!

Wonderful looking bags!
Janelle, is the fabric coated with PVC, or do you sew clear PVC onto the fabric?
WOW, the bag made from the Amy Butler range is gorgoeus. I think you are going to have to teach me how to make that one. Your PVC bag turned out a treat. Mine looks good too lol.
You are the best teacher.
Luv ya:)
A girl can never have too many bags!!

Great bags! And Happy Bday to your DAD! :)
Love those bags. I am such a "bag lady" myself. I need to make another one after seeing all your beautiful ones. You will miss your friend.
Love the pleated bag - looks great in that fabric!
Well done girls, lovely bags and yummy fabrics.
such great bags and pretty fabrics! I eventually make things with my fabrics too :) sometimes it just takes a while!
Other comments have the same thoughts as me. The pleated bag is different and I like the way you have used the different materials .
