Charlie bag

Size_chart

Description

Two matching stash busting bags!! The denim and crimpelene made the bags too bulky to fold into their pouches. But they're very sturdy - just the thing for library books and the occasional bottle of whiskey! I lined the handles because I am too fussy to leave them "unfinished". I top stitched as well as the crimpelene refused to be pressed.

Materials

Denim and orange polka dot crimpelene (very 70's)

    sewing my wedding dress!

    Very cute! I had the same problem, I wanted mine to be of sturdier fabric, but they wouldn't fit into their pouches, and they weren't cute enough to post, your's makes me wanna try again!

    They both look great. I think your choice of fabrics is great.

    laying waste to her fabric stash!!

    Thanks! I thought the next ones I try I might use bias binding around the edges.

    Finished the taxes!

    I made 4 of these (2 sets of 2) for friends of mine. I made sure to fully line one of each so that they'd have the sturdiness for books and heavy things (especially since one friend said she'd like to use it as a workbag!). Love the colours you have here! Cute cute cute!
