No charms were harmed in the making of this bag!
I bought this fabric at Pioneer Quilts, I think. It is a Tim Holtz canvas. I like the color block pattern even though it has a lot of brown.
Almost as soon as I arrived home, I dug out the Chubby Charmer pattern and got to work. I have made several of these. I think I bought the pattern and made the first one in 2009, which is still in good shape and serving as a collection point for interfacing. I felt like it was time for a new one. The pattern calls for a charm pack, but I wanted to just use one fabric, so I had to do some math. This is a pretty basic pattern, so I didn’t worry too much about exact numbers. Since I wasn’t sewing 50 charms together, the bag went together very quickly.
I used a fun and favorite Philip Jacobs fabric for the interior. It is a little busy, but also light colored, so I should be able to find things ok.
I put only basic pockets inside as I was lazy and didn’t want to spend a lot of time on the bag.
I did add a leash so I may make a zipper bag to clip to the inside. We’ll see. I can also clip keys or whatever to it.
While I was working on this bag, I realized that my stitch quality isn’t good on my main machine. I need to figure out the problem. I am annoyed, because it was just serviced a few months ago.
