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
and Pinterest.
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.
Inside the DS bag.
Of course you know that I
couldn't stop there...
I just had to make one from my
Daisy Cottage line...
Inside Daisy Cottage bag.
Then to top it all off...
we really wanted to make a sweet bag
out of our
sweet fabric.
Su-weeet!!!
Inside my PKM bag.
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:)

Cutest lunch boxes ever!!!
So cute! I'm in the middle of a Sew Cherry apron making frenzy (with your pattern, of course) and this bag would look so great with the aprons. And actually with the Cake Stand quilt I made, too. Love the fabric and I didn't get enough and it's getting hard to find!
Those are amazing! I am such a fan of all of those gorgeous fabrics!
I'd love to enter! I've actually been wanting to make one of Ayumi's bags too :)
I love, love love, these bags....I also have never had a big cherry candy bar and would love to have one..
CUTE bag!!! :D
I've had my eye on that bag tutorial but now I can't wait to make one up for myself. Yours are so beautiful.
Those bags are just 'SEW' fun and I'd love to be the lucky recipient of the prize package so I can make one of my own. Have the tutorial but no bag yet. Thanks!
These are just the cutest! Thanks for the giveaway!
The bags are adorable - I have one made for me by a friend (with flamingo fabric) but I think I need to make a few as gifts - they really are cute!
Double your pleasure, double your fun, Doublemint, Doublemint, Doublemint Gum! LOL. Such fun, colorful bags! Awesome fabric choices.
Bellissime!!
Thanks for the chance to win :)

Plus Doublemint was always my Dad's favorite, you could count on him to always have a stick on him, waiting for us to ask!
Your bags remind me of our old Curler bags we made by crocheting around a bleach bottle that we cut the top off of. I'd love some more Sweet Cherry Fabrics. I remember the Doublemint Twins too.

How adorable!! Think I could get started on early Christmas prezzies!!
I probably have 5 fat quarters laying around. . . . .:)
Oh my goodness those bags are adorable!!! I am hopping over to the tutorial right now to find out how I can make one of them for myself and maybe my daughter, my mom, sister.... LOL. Hugs.
That's the same tutorial I used (well with a few changes since I have to play with patterns) to make my daughter's lunch box this year!
I've done virtual sewing with my friend too, and it's the next best thing to having a sew day together. I think you and Monica should collaborate on designing a fabric line together - it would be fabulous!
Love the bags! Thanks for the give-a-way.
Oh what a fun way to spend some sewing time! You 2 need to set up a skype thing so you can have yourselves there kind of virtually! Love all the bags her and at Monica's blog! Your fabric lines are beautiful, as are Monica's. Have a great weekend!
What a cute project! It would make packing lunch fun!
You both did such a great job! I can't pick a favorite. I hope I win so that I can drool over all the fabric goodness! Thanks
Cute!:) thanks for chance!
Love, love, love these bags! I will be making one up this weekend.....
These are so adorable and cute and they make me happy ! thanks for the fun !!!
Oh, they are all so beautiful! Love the design and the fabrics!

Have you thought about using Skype. If you got an old style webcam you could have it set up on your machine and talk as you sew!!!
The bags are awesome by the way - I will definitely be making some for gifts this year. Would be great to hold packs of playdough and cutters for party bags!
I just love these and your fabric also!
