I am not sure whether I am yielding to the fact that I am not going to have the Amy Butler Field Bag done for my trip, or if I am yielding to the temptation of a quick finish!

| Diggin' the fussy cut! |
Either way, I will have these cute little Ditty bags to match my Field Bag. The pattern is from Keyla Lou Patterns. I have had the pattern for awhile, and made one other. Love that it is a pdf download! If you have a zipper, fabric, and interfacing, you can get right to it!

| Yup, my raindrops are upside down! Rats! Now you know I am not perfect! I had made this, the medium size, before. The focus fabrics are Erin McMorris, Summersault. |
Here is the big one, I think that it will be plenty big for my little dab of makeup. (I wear only a dab, not because I am already gorgeous, but because I want to look like I at least tried!)
Purposely had three different zippers.
Each also has a different lining. Using up those scraps! This one will hold all those fiddly little things that get lost so easily. I will say the small one was the hardest to make, but not terribly so.
This blue was some Bella Solid that I won...free is soooooo nice.
This is the large one again, can you get any better than purple AND Sandi Henderson?
In case you were wondering, I finished them up by carrying them with me to "hurry to wait" places Tuesday. They traveled in this lap-sized round, lined basket.

| My hand quilting kit. On trips, while Treasure drives, I like to keep busy. Since our car is a huge many van, I have learned the hard way that dropping certain items---say your black leather thimble---on the black rubberized floor, brings your sewing to an early end. Hopefully this basket is big enough to prevent such klutziness. |
I threw my Birdie Stitches block in a plastic bag to keep it dry. Wouldn't do to erase those marks too soon! Yes, I realize that I am still working on the February block. It's alright though because you already found out I am not perfect!
This little case, from a swap, holds my floss for the blocks.
Field Bag Update: All 55 pieces cut, fused, and fleeced. Now to mark them (Step 4). The only problem? My marking supplies are all the colors of the bag. *sigh*
There has been no progress on any other WIP.
Be sure to use the WIP button on my sidebar. I will be linking up when it is posted in the morning.
Blessings,
KT
Those little bags are so cute! Love the fabric combinations you have chosen. I bet they are so useful, too. I can never have too many little bags to sort out my stuff. Great idea to hold your supplies in the basket. If I can ever get out of the driver's seat I'll have to try it. And I can't wait to see your Field Bag. I cannot even imagine cutting, fusing, and keeping track of so many pieces!
ReplyDeleteThose are sweet bags! I like the fussy cutting you did.
ReplyDeletesupercute bags KT :)
ReplyDeleteTotal cuteness!
ReplyDeleteOkay I love those little bags too...I need to do a few for me and maybe a few for my sisters :) I LOVE your birdie stitches..I have a bunch of embroidery things that I went and bought months ago so I could start playing with embroidery...I need the kick in the pants...so thanks!
ReplyDeleteThose bags are adorable!!!! Sure wish I could do zippers...I'd be making me some of those bags ;-) Those fabrics are just too cute....haven't seen them before. They are perfect for the bags. Like the different colored zippers and liners...very clever!
