I posted this under HeartofMary's thread as well, but thought it would be fun to add my own post.  This is a messenger bag I made for my trip to Vegas next week, using her tutorial, and some awesome casino/dice fabric I got off of Etsy.com.  It turned out really cute, and i am also making a wallet to hopefully post tonight after i take pictures once it is finished. Let me know what you think, and if you are thinking about trying this tute out... DO IT!  it is really simple, and i am not by any means a great sewer, the directions were clear and simple, and I LOVE IT!!!!  

Here is the outside...



Here is the inside under the flap, with the two pockets and magnetic snap...



And this is the inside with small zipper pocket toward the top...



And bonus picture of my kitty - 'Meow' (her real name is Chloe... check out her pumpkin outfit in the home sweet home crafting for pets )



Thanks for checking this out... let me know what you think!

And thanks again to HeartofMary!!!! 

YEAH I'm so excited!!!!  I JUST finished this bag!  I am going to vegas the first week of November, so of course i needed a 'Vegas Purse' so i found some awesome fabric from an etsy seller, and used HeartofMary's wonderful tute, and this is how it came out!!!!  There were a few points where i was like 'is this going to work' but it all worked out in the end. 

Here is the outside hanging on my door...




Here is under the flap with the front two pockets and the zipper, which was sooo easy! 



And the inside, there is a zipper pocket on the back side by my top finger, but you cant really see it



And a bonus picture of my kitty helping me



Like i said i am way excited about this, i know ill take it everywhere with me and it is the right size to take on the plane, and from casino to casino for sure!

Thank you HeartofMary! YOU TOTALLY ROCK, and thank you for the help!!!!!!

I was looking for a halloween costume for my cat Found one similar online but thought i could make one!  SO here is my version, the orange is stripes, and i kind of zig zagged around the edges.  Hope my pictures work.  Comments welcome!   Thanks!!!!

I have been taking my lunch to work in a plastic bag (target bag) and it is not very fun, so i thought up a new lunch bag.  Basically just a square bag, outside is cotton fabric, with little colorful kitty faces, inside is made out of a picnic table fabric, i found that in the scrap pile at JoAnns, and thought it would be perfect even if something spills i can wipe it out.  It was easy to sew up, and the ribbon is just in the seam to help tie it shut.  You could probably also do a drawstring if you wanted.  I think it is the perfect size.  Let me know if you have questions/comments

Thanks for looking!!!!   

I finally got around to taking a picture of my letters that i made with your WONDERFUL tute!!!  Cucina means kitchen in italian   thank you again for the great tute!  Everyone thinks this is so cute! 

p.s. underneath you can see a cabinet door with green outside... that is my work in progress... going to paint the middle with chalk board paint!  yeah!

p.s.s. i just realized that i used the same paper as you did for Sebastian's name must think a like... or the paper was just too cool!

Here is a new purse I just got done with.  The fabric is brown with pink butterflies, and little sparkles.  I think it turned out really cute.  I didnt have a pattern, but just kind of sketched something out to use to cut the fabric.  Let me know what you think... thanks to my sis for modeling for me.





 

Hey everyone!  I have been reading and asking questions on here for a few weeks so i thought i would do my own post!  I found this pattern from the JoAnn Fabric website... http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat13851&PRODID=xprd73646 ... if you go there you can see the pattern.  I really like the fabric, and it was my first try with something like this, i think it turned out pretty cute, i would like longer handles, but its cute.  I got the fabric on sale too!  Let me know what you think, or any suggestions to make it better.  ThAnKs!   

Here is a picture of the one that i made the other night, that i had a little trouble on, but i think it turned out pretty cute
