Bag for toys

I made this bag for my son for him to storage his Mickey Mouse's"megablocks" that he got on his birthday.

It takes less space than the boxes where the blocks were.

I've only used two rectagules of fabric. The embroidery I've also made myself.

He liked and he also asked me to do one for the set of pirates that he also got.

Grey embroidered Bag

I've made another bag! This time is for myself and to take my lunch. But I think it didn't look so great.... I think I could have got a little better.

The pattern used was from website Burda Style. It's the Charlie bag and you can find it here. It's one the few which is free downloaded.

The fabrics used were from two long skirts which no longer fit me. So, I made a sort of recycling.

The embroidery, I did it and the design was taken from Quilter's Muse.

To take my lunch I think it'll do. I'll do it better next time, I'm sure.

Embroidered Tote Bag

During the breaks that I have of the more complicated models, (blouses, etc.), I'm doing things more simple. This time I made a tote bag as per my sister's request.

She asked me to do this bag so that she can take her lunch in it.

The fabric used was a denim not too thick and the lining was a printed canvas.

It was not hard to do, but it wasn't easy also. I made the pattern, and I used the help from Blog Sew Mama Sew, which has excelent tutorials to do this sort of bags. HERE to do the bag and HERE to sew the lining.

On the outside I have sewn a pocket and embroidered a kitten. The design is not mine, I found in the web, but I can't find from where.

As my sister asked a bag which she could close and as I'm still not very at ease with zippers, I've sewn a velcro tape in it.

I think it looks good, for a first bag. I'll try to make on for myself also.
