Remember this red bag that I wanted to make? It's from the tutorial from http://lappeklipp.blogspot.com It's a beautiful blog. You have to make a visit there sometime...like now!! (^o^)

Started by cutting 22 squares. Then stitched them in the order above.
Batting is very expensive here. So I used a very thin sponge which is sold by the meter and it's very cheap. I like to use it in making bags because it's light weight and it keeps the bag in shape. Used sponge when making these bags too.




Then it's quilting time. I hand quilted each square with three strands of tapestry thread. Need more practice here ^o^

That's two straps and the lining cut out using the quilted squares as the pattern.
To assemble the bag...please head over to lappeklipp.blogspot.com for the tutorial.

Here it is !!! I love it..it's so cute.

I tweaked the pattern a little. I added a small dart on each corner because I find the bottom a little too pointed. Besides, I think the dart made the bag sit better on the table :~D

As usual, I make my own covered button. You might notice that the lining, strap,button and loop are of the same fabric.

Thank you Lappeklipp for the tutorial. *o*
