The Sew Together Bag Love Continues

I stitched a few more Sew Together Bags for Christmas presents, keeping one for myself. (Yes, I am fully aware that Christmas has come and gone, but I finally found time to get these stitched!)

It's amazing - I thought these bags were so difficult to sew when I made my the first and second attempts last Christmas. A year later, I expected to struggle through them again, but for some reason, they went together like a charm!   I do think it's worth sewing more than one at a time.

I thought this "Keep Calm" fabric was so fun, so I stitched several of these, varying the interior fabrics to suit the receiver.

Kathy is a Densye Schmidt fan, so I selected a variety of DS fabrics for the lining, pockets and binding.

I love how different the bags can look depending on what fabrics and zipper colors you choose!

Eileen's bag was stitched out of Kaffe fabrics.  It's a bit wild, but I love it too!

It's so fun to add my labels for a special touch.

Of course, I have some more in mind to stitch....  I do think I prefer a quilted exterior like this one - it gives the bag a nice soft touch instead of the stiff interfacing, so I think I'll do a little patchwork with some quilting on the exterior of the next ones.
