Another version of the Savannah Bag!





I just love making these little bags!  I had gotten this fabric back in the Spring at, of course, JoAnn's!!  I didn't find it in a Charm Pack like I have for my previous bags so I just bought it off the bolts and cut my own squares.  I actually made the straps longer than usual on this one because it is so much easier to drape it across the shoulders!!  And this cupcake bag is a good bit bigger than my other bags.  I decided to add the ribbon across the front as well as on the straps just for a little something different!  

Jessica snatched up the brown and pink paisley bag that I made before this one and is using it as a little diaper bag for Madalyn!!  On that one, I made a wider ruffle and sewed it laying down instead of up on the outside of the straps.  I actually used some fabric for it that Jess had bought and made little Maddie a sundress from!  It was so cute and she did a great job for her first hand-made garment!  I'll have to get a picture of both the dress and the diaper bag and post them as well !!

If you would like a custom made 'Savannah Bag' please feel free to contact me using my info in the 'Contact Me' box on the right side bar!

Thanks for looking!

Savannah Bag!

Oh my gosh!!  I'm so loving the Charm Packs and Fat Quarters I bought from JoAnn's (my favorite craft store) !!  Look at this little quilted bag I made this week!  I had purchased the Charm packs of this fabric before Christmas and just pulled them out last weekend.  I cut the squares down from 5" to 4" using my Fabric Rotary Cutter, laid them out how I wanted them, sewed the pieces together, added the ruffle, liner and handles and Voila!  A cute new bag!!  I LOVE bags!!  My husband and children call me 'The Bag Lady' because I have so many and CARRY at least a couple with me every where I go!  Seriously!  A girl has to have her 'stuff' with her at all times! 

I followed instructions from Angie Juda from SU that she so graciously shared on her blog.  She's awesome and I'm totally addicted to this bag that she named 'Savannah Bag'.  Of course, you can be versatile with the size by adjusting the number of blocks and the measurements for the liner and ruffle accordingly.  My girls really like it and have voiced they would like one a little bigger!!  So as soon as I come across some more cute Charm packs and Fat Quarters, I'll be making some more!
