Tutorial and a Giveaway!!!


Well hello cute people!
I want to show you what I sewed a while back...
bags...
and lots of them!
In fact...
I went on quite the bag sewing frenzy.
It all started with my 
fabulous friend Monica 
Let me explain.
Monica sent me a picture of a bag
 that she had pinned.
The bag was made by 
and was adorable!!!
I smiled when I saw that Erin
 had used my Sew Cherry fabric. 
The pattern she used came from 
a tutorial by my friend Ayumi.

Monica wanted to make one and I did too...
so long story short...
she had the great idea to
 sew our bags together!
I said...Heck Yeah!!!

The bag takes 5 fat quarters 
and we decided that I would send her
 5 Sew Cherry FQ's and she would send me
 5 of her HMYY fat quarters....
so that we could make bags out of 
each others fabric! 


Here's the bag I made from
 my Sew Cherry fabric line.


It was so fun and easy to make...
Ayumi has the best tutorials!


I love how the bag gathers at the top.


Here is a view of the inside...
just waiting to be filled with
 all kinds of good stuff.


Here's the one I made out of the
 adorable HMYY fat quarter's
 that Monica sent me.
Isn't her fabric so happy and awesome???


Inside peek.


But the fun didn't stop at just 2 bags...
we also decided that we needed 
to make one out of DS fabrics...
here is my version.

Of course you know that I
 couldn't stop there...
I just had to make one from my
 Daisy Cottage line...

Then to top it all off...
we really wanted to make a sweet bag 
out of our 
sweet fabric.
Su-weeet!!!

I had to cap my lunch bag sewing frenzy
 at 5 for right now so that I 
could move on to sewing samples for spring market with
 Millie's Closet.
But I'm sure I will be making
 more in the future!
to go straight to Ayumi's great tutorial 
if you want to make one of your own...
but I bet you won't stop at one either!


And to get you started...
I'm giving away 5 of the very same FQ's 
that I used
 to make my own
  Sew Cherry bag...


Along with one of my favorite candy...
the classic Big Cherry.
I'm also throwing in a pack of
 Doublemint Gum because
 Monica dubbed us the
 "doublemint twins" as we were 
sewing our bags together and 
sending pictures back and forth...
Monica lives a few states away from me
 so we had a
 "virtual sew along"
It was sew fun and I'm sure 
I will be doing more virtual sewing
 with friends again!


Just leave me a comment on this post and you are entered in my giveaway...
I will draw a name this Monday at 
midnight my time and 
announce the winner on Tuesday...

But that's not all!...

Because Monica and I are 
the doublemint twins...
she has posted about our
 double sew along too...

and she is also hosting a 
giveaway as well on her cute blog!

 and see my friend Monica
 and the bags that she made. 
Leave her some bloggy love and 
enter to win her giveaway as well!


Have a quilty kind of day my friends:)
