Access all Accessories Inaugural Sewalongathon- the Bagathon!

[Vezelay]

Aw thanks @WildAtlanticWay .  I like using satiny fabric for bag linings. It can be a swine to work with but a light fusible interfacing helps stabilize it

Your bag is lovely, great fabric and plenty adventurous imo. Lots of patterns and colours there, so a plain navy, white or silver button could work well and easy enough to hunt down.

@Acorn, not a modest bag at all, very creative. I bet your mum will be so proud to say her daughter made it when it's admired.

I'll be absent from TSP for a week. My brother flies over today, then I'm away in Belfast so I look forward to admiring the remaining creations when I'm back 

PS @FloBear - 3 bags, get you! And I want a handy sewing bin just like that (including garden pebble). Brill

[Flobear]

Yes, @Ploshkin I remember you saying but could I find any door hinges! I think I must have had a chuck-out when I tidied the garage two years ago. I'd had them for ever and decided I was never going to use them.

@Vezelay your bags are stunning, very impressive!

@Acorn beautiful bag and lovely embroidery

@WildAtlanticWay I love the colours and the pattern choices go so well together, a beautiful bag! 

[Lilian]

@FloBear a beautiful collection aof bags, love the colours 

[Lowena]

Gorgeous bags from everyone, I am in awe.
Really enjoying looking at them in admiration 

[Greybird]

They are all lovely (counting myself out here!) - and what a variety. Impossible to pick a favourite - all to be used with pride!

[Iminei]

WOW! How lovely are all these!

@FloBear  ... fab fabrics and fab bags

@Ploshkin  ... How Hinges?

@Sheilago  ... thank you sooooo much my Darling ...

I've learned and tried something new, as have others ... a fun and valuable sewalong!

[Lilian]

Here is my bag, following @Sheilago s  tute.  I decided to use webbing for the handles and take it all the way down and underneath (basically a large hoop) as I wanted it to carry my featherweight machine.  I also put a loose removable base pad to steady it.  I also rolled the lining out to show a little at the top.  I padded the top of each handle so it would be comfortable on the hands.  I put a pocket on one outside to take extra bits and bobs.


Thanks @Sheilago

[Sheilago]

@FloBear , no need to up your game at all, they’re great. That sewing bin is a good idea- might copy that.
@Lilian , your sewing machine bag looks perfect: clever to hide the wadding straps between the 2 layers.  I’d have stuck them on the outside, which would have been much less attractive.
I plan to make a few more for Christmas, but still lots of time!

[Iminei]

Oh!!! That's just FAB @Lilian  ... Bravo!!!

[Lilian]

Thanks, all the bags are just gorgeous. Thanks @Sheilago and @Iminei I would never had made this if not for you!  I can now manage to carry my little machine to sewing group as it's not too heavy like this. 

[Ploshkin]

@Iminei the hinge(s) are just for the weight.  I used one of DH's vintage show plaques (he hasn't noticed one missing).  It's covered in fabric.  I put stuffing/waddling on top before covering it so that it can be used as a pincushion.

I love all the bags everyone.

[Flobear]

Maybe next time I'm at Ploshkin's, I could half-inch another of Mr P's show plaques
