May bag finish

Hi ladies, I am so happy to have finished my bag today, I decided to save some time this(last) month and opted out of the stitchery.

I covered a little button for the back in the bag fabric.

It's been lovely to see the variety of bags finished for May, happy stitching for June everyone.

Hours To Spare!

I finished my version of this month's bag with hours to spare ;) I chose not to do the stitchery, and since I am a bag-making newbie, I also chose not to do the back opening. I've added a crocheted flower brooch that I have (it was a gift that's been waiting for a specific home).

May's bag

It has been another busy week but there has been a little stitching done. I finally put together my Some Kind of Wonderful bag last weekend. I had done the stitching quite a while ago so it was good that the Stitch-a-long blog had this project for this month. Here it is all finished.

May Greetings From Finland!

Hi there!

I'm happy to tell you that my SKofW Bag is finished!

... however, it does not look exactly the same as Anni's bag in the book...

Maybe I explain a little why I made - again - some changes.

First I have plenty of those crocheted flowers and I hadn't yet figured where I'll use them. After I choose the fabric for the bag, I decided not to embroider it... mainly because it's black and thin... the tracing of the stitchery on this fabric would have been difficult. Then I remembered those flowers and bling! I got the idea! I will applique my bag! I enlarged the cat and the butterfly about 120%.

Then the handles are longer, because I want to carry the bag over my shoulder. I cut 30" long handle stripes. The solid beige strips sit on the upper side of the handle... not on the underside...

And I didn't make a small back opening.

Well, my SKofW Bag is a little simplified, but I like it ;o)

Hopefully you too enjoy making of this bag as much as I enjoyed!

See you in June!
