I missed making drawstring bags like I did during the retreat I attended in August (A Drawstring-bagalicious Retreat, Part I), so over the past couple of days I’ve been making more bags.
I have a fantasy still that I am going to reopen my tierneycreates Etsy shop and I am making stuff for my shop (shhhh don’t mention I’ve said many times in the past I was going to reopen that shop…but this time I might really do it…maybe…)
Here are the bags I’ve made so far and I have 6 more cut out to sew.
Repurposing Words/Label from the Fabric Selvage
A Little Butterfly Bag

Black and White Bag with a Pop of Color Inside
Since finishing that art quilt for the exhibit I mentioned in the post Secret Quilt and Design Wall Struggle, I am enjoying just making drawstring bags. Thank goodness I have a large stash of interfacing as these bags use a lot of interfacing to make them stand up. I
I am sure I will tire of making them eventually and move on to other stuff but right now I am enjoying playing with fabric combinations.
Ooh the beautiful butterfly bag is my favourite, but they’re all gorgeous!

It really does – and side note / i skimmed the photos before I read the text and so at first I thought maybe your company name was harmony ?

I think it’s some sort of contagious disease – “might reopen” and mine is “maybe time to open” – so many people keep asking when I’m going to start selling my art… Actually a lot more needs to be accomplished with them but I “might”….

Oh yes you should sell your lovely art! You could frame a couple as examples. Be my role model and get your shop open 🙂
