The funky floral & stripe are 'Eyes Wise' collection designed by Luella Doss and Robin Fleming for FreeSpirit. (I came across a very cool & modern quilt pattern using this fabric here if you are interested).
I have made many of these bags over the years, both as bible bags & as simply cute & quick little girly bags. I was surprised how many I had made when I went back through the photos:
1. Pom-pom love, 2. Girly pom-pom bags, 3. Fete bags, 4. Pink & green pom-pom bag
1. Blue & brown velvet, 2. Checks & roses, 3. Fresh blue & white, 4. Pink & brown frilly
A friend & I have made some of these bags for school fetes, and they sell like hotcakes. I took lots of photos as I was making this latest bag so that I can put a tutorial together. I hope to post it soon.
Please let me know if you can think of a better name for my tutorial than 'Bloom's Bible Bag' - this sounds far too holy for me! I am working on it, but am far from puritanical yet - LOL!
All those bags are just gorgeous, you have such a lovely style. You can make me a "bible bag" anytime LOL
ReplyDeleteOh I just LOVE the Pom Pom Love and the Checks and roses. The bags are fabulous.

I had a thought for a bag name - it came to me in the middle of the night so I thought I'd put it out there in the light of day (scary!). What about "Blooms Bread and Butter Bag" - because you can dress it up any way you like and it's always great - just like bread and butter. It's just a thought and maybe it doesn't work so well in the light of day. Love, Liz.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw the bag I straight away thought of my daughter and the lack of a bag for her Bible and when I mentioned that there might be a tutorial she said "when will you make me one". Thanks for a great blog very inspirational.
Sylvia:)
Bloom's pom pom bag, or Bloom's fete bag. I love it, I would carry my bible in one of them too! Looking forward to the tutorial. Jodie
ReplyDeleteThat Bible bag is just lovely! The colors are so bright and cheerful! I hope you do put up a tutorial because I would love to make one for my daughter! Have a wonderful day!
