It is freezing here today, I am not leaving the house unless absolutely necessary! I finished up my 2nd Sew Together bag. The colors feel very cheerful!
I really do spend a lot of time picking out just the right fabrics. I wanted it to be something the ladies would like. The colorful zippers are so much fun.
I had a lot of comments about the label. I didn't make it but bought them through an etsy site called, Emily Ann's Kloset. She has many designs and other things that you might enjoy. I put some fusible on the back and then stitched around the edges.
I didn't put this on mine but now wish I had! It's a place to keep your pins or needles.
I also finished off the edges of the zippers to give it a cleaner look.
I am almost out of the pin fabric but figured it was a perfect piece for a sewing bag.
This is not a hard bag to make, but you must concentrate and it is not a quick project. Once again I chose to sew down the binding around the long zipper by hand. It does not take long and I like the way it looks.
Congratulations to Longwood Gardens for the best restroom in the world award! It is fantastic and well deserved this is a must see in person if you ever get the chance.
Okay now for something fun...... last summer I did a survey on what was your favorite color, everyone seemed to like it a lot. I thought it would be fun to try and guess what the Pantone color of the year will be for 2015.
My vote is for classic blue.
Revison....go here to see the colors.........Start voting it ends 12/13/14. Go up to the right hand side of the blog and vote!

Scuba Blue or Lucite Green would be my favourites! It will be interesting to see which one they decide on. Love the Sew Together bag- I hand stitch my binding too! But I'm a sucker for hand stitching!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it will be that bright darker blue? Gorgeous colors! Very sweet bag. I have never made any as the binding/detail work scares me to death.:)
ReplyDeleteYour Sew Together Bag looks awesome! I personally like Scuba Blue, Lucite Green and Strawberry Ice. It will be interesting to see which one wins.
ReplyDeleteWinter is here too! Your bag turned out perfect. I love the pin fabric and the addition for your needles. OK, I want to go to that bathroom, even if it is just to wash my hands. Fun, I think Teal!
ReplyDeleteThe bag looks great, I love the detail on the zipper ends. Did you still use 9" zippers? I'd love to see Longwood gardens, I fancy touring the toilets. I vote for the grey Pantone colour.
ReplyDeleteMy guess for the Pantone colour would be Lucite Green. I have both the "Sew Easy" and Bionic Bags" patterens and can't seem to find time to do either. I love your version, so fresh .
ReplyDeleteYour bag is so fun. I can see how you could spend time picking just the right fabrics. The more I see photos of Longwood Gardens the more amazed I am. I like the Lucite green the best.
ReplyDeleteClassic blue, my personal favorite.
ReplyDeleteWhew! You're faster than a Christmas elf! Gorgeous bag. Personally, I would choose the classic blue or aquamarine. But I think the color will be strawberry ice. Just a guess.
ReplyDeleteAnother great bag. Your colors are perfect.
ReplyDeleteYour bag is so wonderful - I love the fabrics!
ReplyDeleteClassic Blue all the way. Throw away toasted Almond! And some of the other colors, too. Absolutely love the bag!
ReplyDeleteYour bag is so awesome - one lucky lady will treasure it!
ReplyDeleteI soooo want to go to Longwood. Maybe next summer.
I am voting for Strawberry Ice. I must stay loyal to my beloved pink.
Your bag is great and the colour choices are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove the Longwood photo. Is that in the newest section?
I like Scuba Blue but i think it may be Glacier Grey.
ReplyDeleteI made only one of these Sew Together bags. The instructions had me tearing my hair out, though I'm sure the next go-'round would be better. My bag is currently full of EPP supplies. Excited to be starting a new project. I voted for the color Aquamarine, because I want it to win, but I have a feeling you'll be right choosing the navy. Or perhaps that yucky toasted almond.
