Anyway, I've been using up fabric in my stash to make round bottomed bags. This one, in yarn-dyed linen, has an EPP Liberty hexagon flower on both sides:
And this one has pockets all around:
They were surprisingly easy and satisfying and I thought I might put some pics on how I made them in an upcoming post.
Even if I manage to rein in the spending tomorrow, my stash will be enhanced by a very lucky win. How fab! There are some other lovely giveaways on the go at the moment:
- Fluffy Sheep Quilting is offering a giveaway of four fat quarters from the Oh Deer line.
- Maureen Cracknell Handmade and Canton Village Quiltworks are offering this giveaway of Summer Love fabrics by Pat Bravo
- There's a giveaway from Marmalade Fabrics over at Plum and June which finishes today - be quick!

Your fat bottomed bags are great - especially love the Liberty one and the linen you have used is gorgeous. I'm on a fabric diet too. And a real one!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a fruitful day at the Quilt Show. Washing machine replacement and an MOT in the same month - ouch!
ReplyDeleteThese look gorgeous, well done! I spent a couple of hours last night fighting with sewing a circle, so I'm very jealous of how perfect these look!
ReplyDeleteCute bags, and I like your term "embargo":).
ReplyDeleteI am sure if you check ALL pockets, the side of the sofa... and that mysterious place,,, the back of your purse... you will find a little bit of money to take with you xx Have FUN xx
ReplyDeletethey look fantastic! The pink one resembles a design I saw in Harrods on their aprons and other little gifty things, very pretty! Shame about the large expenses, but a quilt show sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bags! I put myself on a fabric diet, too. I'm trying to buy fabric per project, but what I can resist is buyin craft books... so I'm cheating on my diet lol.
