i was knit together...:

December 09, 2010

While there are a hundred and one ways great ways to make a box bag,

I set about to tweek what were already some great tutorials and patterns out there. What I was looking for was a bag that was fully lined, with no exposed seams or zipper ends...and something with a very boxy little shape.

Using the FREE HotPatterns/Fabric.com Diva-licious Cosmetic Bag pattern, I modified until I came up with this:

Laminated cotton lining , all seams and zipper enclosed and a chunky little knit tape handle. Adorable!

One thing that I wish I had done is interface the cotton fabric. I was thinking that the laminated cotton would make the bag sturdy enough, but I would prefer something with a bit more structure next time around.

While it's not perfect, it is going to be perfected so that ultimately, I will have created the Most Perfect Diva-licious Cosmetic Bag!

Christmas Vignette #3

Christmas Cocktail, anyone?

Do you have a favorite holiday drink?

Cute bag! I was thinking it might be nice if a little padded. You could use quilted fabric for one of the fabrics. Even if you had to pad and stitch or quilt it yourself. Just a thought. I am kinda rough with my bags. Nice idea with the glasses. I guess Christmas tea is good.
