Cut out and made these bags today, however no embroidery :( so I hope you don't mind looking. They are lined with the Baby Dry, so can be useful for cosmetics, medicines, etc. Do you recognize the outer fabrics? Have a great night or day, wherever you are-Toogie

Wow! your are amazing with all your stitching. Excellent!!!

I love these! Terrific job!

What is Baby Dry?

Read my comment below to peafarm about Baby Dry. Thanks for looking.

Love, love, love the bags and fabric choice. am not sure if I can get baby dry here in germany but i sometimes use shower curtain material for cosmetics bags and pencil cases, I only make them for friends and family members. But you do such an excellent job in sewing, still need more practice. Thank you for sharing. Hugs, Mary

Mary, I have been sewing for years and that's why you think it looks so good. I've had a lot of practice, just keep sewing. I am sure yours look fine. I know my first things I made weren't perfect by any means. I am sure what you are using is fine, too. I had the Baby Dry left from other projects, and since it was suitable for this, I used it. Thank you for looking.-Toogie

wow..!!

I think I did these 9 1/2inch x 10 1/2 inch with the zipper going the 10 1/2in seam, but you can do them any size. I made a 2 inch bottom corner.

These are absolutely gorgeous and would make great gift ideas. I have so many fat quarters in my stash just calling out to me now. I just might have to borrow your idea Toogie! :) ~Charlotte

You always have amazing projects and amazing material! Just love your little bags. I recall the owl fabric but would have to look back at your other projects (which would totally be fun to do as you are so creative!) for the other fabrics.

Very nice. Not everything needs to have embroidery, these prints are pretty enough to stand on their own.

Thank you Sharon, I am loads better, and really would like to get back into my sewing.

I love, love these--I would carry them like a wristlet!! Want to show off those beautiful fabrics. What is baby dry fabric? Is it what they call PUL [what they sell for making changing pads etc?? I've found that at Nancy's Notions online.

1 comment

by toogie 11 Aug 2015

No, it is not PUL. It is a bonded fabric, one side flannel feel and the other a rubberized vinyl, bonded together. I had some PUL one time. Didn't use it for a while. When I did the backside was stuck together, when I tried to pul it apart it 'peeled' in places. I like Baby Dry a whole lot better.

WOW, your bags are super nice and especially well made. For sure, Love the owl an hearts...I made pencil cases , this week ( only 2 ....) and they are not pretty as yours. I had trouble with the zipper on a bag, on an other bag, I embroider an owl appliqué ( 25 steps). And I could not work a lot ( only 2 pencil cases...grrrrrrrrrrrrrr). In short, I will not be proud to show my pencil cases...I hope to make a new one today, with several owl embroidery.. lol I spent my life doing industrial sewing, but I sewed especially sweatshirt, zipper not often

Very beautiful work Toogie, love them

Hugs and thanks for sharing

All from the fabric from the thrift store except the owls, thanks.

Super gemacht. Du bist immer so fleißig. Die kleinen Täschchen gefallen mir sehr gut, am liebsten mag ich die mit dem Eulenmotiv. Ich liebe Eulen!
Viele Grüße

I'm glad you like the owls. This piece was left, from the 2 fat quarters I used, on the #2 birthday dress. I haven't been too busy sewing, but I'm hoping to get back in the swing of things, thank you.-Toogie

Well done! they are so neat. Love the boxed bottom.

Thank you Lidia. I was first going to make a big bag or tote, with the big flowers and the coordinating fabric, but decided to make for these instead.

really very nice

Thank you very much.

What a great bunch of zip bags!!! That's a good idea to use the baby dry fabric. It will make the bags useful for many purposes.

1 comment

by toogie 01 Aug 2015

The baby dry was mostly pieces I had left on the edge from other projects. I may not use it so freely, until I am sure I can get more. I did contact 'people' so hopefully will still be available for me.

Just love them, make great gifts
