and Crazy Mom Quilts finish it up Friday!!!
PS- To make these bags, I sort of used a tutorial I found on line.. I posted the link the first time I got the brilliant idea to make these bad boys for Easter. I'll look for it..... and here it is, http://www.sweetfloweret.com/2011/02/tutorial-boy-messenger-bag.html She did a GREAT job with this tutorial. I ended up making tons of modifications, but her pattern is a perfect place to start! I have made bags forever, so I used her basic measurements for the first one I made and then modified the next five to my needs. The strap measurement on her tutorial is for a small child. It is barely long enough for my kindergartner. I would have made his strap at least 38-40". I ended up making 52" straps for my big girls. They are perfect for our 5'11" daughter and me, 5'9".
Awww, they look awesome! The dresden plate looks like a flower on the bag! Really pretty, I love them! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Kati! I am really happy with how they have turned out :)
ReplyDeleteThey came out great! I'm planning to make a messenger bag this week for my daughter to give as a birthday gift next weekend. I might have to try a Dresden flower, its so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAll the bags are beautiful. I especially love the Dresden plate.
ReplyDeleteThese bags are great! Love the Dresden plate and purples!
ReplyDeleteGreat bags, love the colors on the Dresden plate.
ReplyDeleteThe bags are so cute!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic! I'm curious to know what pattern you used. Love the fabrics and those dots are adorable!
ReplyDeleteHey ladies! Thanks so much for stopping by and all of the kind words!!! I am SO glad these are finished :) These two are all packed up and on their way with my girls to Seattle and Texas for Easter. Phew! ...about the bags getting finished on time, not necessarily about the girls being gone for Easter :(
