My husband's coworker wanted some special presents for family members, so she asked me to create some bags for her.
The first one is for her aunt (I think) who has battled cancer. She has taken the ladybug as a symbol of hope for herself. So, a ladybug bag it is!
The second one is for her grandmother who LOVES flamingos!
Great idea for a fun gift!
I used the satin stitch on my sewing machine to applique my flamingo and ladybugs.
Please disregard the Christmas header. I thought I had saved my old template, but actually I hadn't, so it isn't an easy restore. : ( New look coming! Soon I hope!
The bags are great! I especially like the lady bugs :)

ReplyDeleteJessica, all the main fabrics are from Joann's 45" home dec line. They made a very sturdy bag!
Mary, how about a cat applique? ;)
Megan, thanks!
Sarah, it wasn't hard, but I've practiced a lot with the name pillows I've been doing. I was NOT good at it when I first started!
