Kelly’s Bag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As I said the other day<\/a>, it is the practice of the group to make bags as thank yous for the BAMQG officers. I made all, but one of the bags for the main officers.<\/p>\n

I really enjoyed last year at BAMQG. I thought Kelly started off strong and had some good challenges. Remember the Kelly Bag<\/a>? I want to do that practice again and her technique of making a bag out of the practice really makes me want to do it. There is nothing like having a bunch of ugly muslin 12″ squares laying around to put the best of us off FMQ practice.<\/p>\n

I got some Cotton + Steel and thought I would use some of it for her back along with the egg fabric I don’t remember the name of and some Bonnie and Camille on the inside and for the tie.<\/p>\n

Claire’s bag is much more lively. She is such a little dynamo that I wanted some cheerful fabric. Making her bag coincided with me rummaging through my multicolor fabric bin.<\/p>\n

I really should do a review of the pattern. I made these from the Jeni Baker Drawstring Bag pattern<\/a>, which is so popular now. They are relatively fast to make. We’ll see if I do a review.<\/p>\n

This is a good project for other guilds as thank yous, because if you can get people to make the bags everyone else only had to bring a few small gifts. I never liked the idea of getting blocks as a thank you. Yes, you get a little of each person, but you have to deal with another UFO and their foibles in sewing. JMO YMMV, of course.<\/p>\n
