me & my sister bags

have you ever made a bag from a me & my sister designs pattern?..

if the answer is no.. you should try one!
full size patterns...
& easy to follow color instructions in a book format!

the first one i made was the pinafore bag

the pinafore bag can be found here

i used freebird fabric

...added some pockets... and never got around to making the tie

but the pattern is very well written.. and i love this bag

{ this was my spring market bag i never got around to showing you }

{ fabric available in the shop }

email me if you want a kit of fabrics for this bag

 then at this most recent market they showed the juliet bag

{ i joked that they named it after me... even though the name has a better story.. ask them! }

the fat quarter shop has the juliet bag in stock

 again another very well written pattern

 fabrics are meadowsweet & are available at cloth & bobbin

and above all fabric

i like how the tie comes out & can be changed

i did add a snap & a few extra pockets

 { i like pockets! }

here they are together to compare size

the pinafore is a lot bigger... much more of a tote

and the juliet is smaller.. more of a purse.. with longer straps

sorry all the photos are by the door...

but this is what the garden looked like this morning...

and i didn't want to get the bags wet!

 here was barb & mary's booth at spring market...

they had 7 juliet bags.. one in each color!

and this photo was from fall market..

it's barb & mary showing their half square triangle quilt
