Let me just say, these little bags were hard to let go. I had fun making them and I love the way they turned out. I did not get them made before the birthdays they were for but I did finally get them in the mail yesterday. Just a few days late! The went out to be loved and adored or at least used.
The pattern was wonderful. I'm usually hesitant to buy bag patterns because I like drafting my own but Elizabeth Hartman's pattern was well worth the splurge. They were easy to make and went together really quickly {when I didn't have a 2-year old "helping" that is}.
To make the handles, I deviated from the pattern and used a key fob set that I picked up at my local quilt shop. I took literally five minutes to make each handle and they look so, professional.
I really love both bags. The Mendocino log cabin is definitely more "me" but the brighter 16-patch is so happy. I'll have to make some just for me now. And everyone else of course!
Tomorrow I'll have a peak at the next project for you.
