Hmm. I think I may need to up my game a bit here. Stunning bags everyone
Anyway, here's my effort. All made from a front door curtain that I had when the door wasn't double-glazed. The greeny fabric was left from piping I made round a matching bench cushion and the red starry fabric is the only new piece.
Daddy Bag, made as per instructions. 11.5" tall, 32" round. I'm keeping my belly-dancing hip scarves in it.
Next I made Baby Bag, 6" tall, 11.5" round, based on a sheet of A4 paper, to put inside my small rucksack which has no inner pockets so small stuff sinks to the bottom and sculls about. May need to adapt the fastening if it upends and things sneak out.
And finally, Mummy Bag 10" tall, 20.5" round, based on a tabloid newspaper.
Idea pinched from Ploshkin who pinched it from someone else! A handy sewing-bin, as you can see. Couldn't find a suitable flat thing for the weight so used a large pebble from the garden wrapped in leftover polyester wadding and wrapped again. If I find something better I can unwrap it and re-do.
Practised lots of rotary cuttering on these, a bit of sort-of quilting but not FMQ on Daddy bag and Stitch-in-the ditching on baby bag.
Oh yes, Bernina in the background as she did all the work ;-)
