Bags are so fun and functional too! Depending on what you need to haul along with you, you may need a super huge tote bag like this one, a generously sized tote bag like one of these, or a kicky little over-the-shoulder bag like the one I finished just yesterday. It's the first in the Bagalicious Club series from Quilt Fabric Delights. I just love how it turned out. Take a look...
This cute little 10x10 inch bag is made using Authentic by Sweetwater for Moda Fabrics.
Don't you love the detail of the ruffled edge on the pocket?
And those delicious polka dots? YUM!
I had to make sure the word fabric pocket lining faced the right way so it could be read when peeking into the pockets!
This was a fun bag to make and the fabric is just lovely to work with. I had thought about adding a magnetic snap to the top of the inside lining before sewing up the top edge, but in my excitement to see the bag finished, I forgot to do it. Now I'm not so sure I want it anyway. I suppose I could unstitch the facing around the inside and snip the basting stitches holding the top edges together then slip the two pieces of the snap in and sew it all back up again. What would you do? Snap or no snap? I'm still deciding. But for now, it's finished and I love it! My next Bagalicious Club shipment won't be for another 5 weeks or so, just long enough to get me excited about the next surprise!
Happy Stitching!

Love the bag! How about a cute button on the front with a tab closure. That way there is no "unsewing"

Hello Gabriela, thanks for stopping in! This bag was the first in the Bagalicious Club series. You need to sign up for the club in order to receive the pattern and fabric kit. There is a link above in the post or you can click on the button on my sidebar to get to the information about the club if you are interested in signing up.
But there are loads of free patterns out there on the internet that you can use, or design your own.
Hope this helps!
