SOLD!
I sold one of the bags I listed on Etsy last night. I sold it this afternoon to a friend here in town, so I had to delete the listing before anyone had a chance to buy it and there wasn’t a bag available! If I had to, I could get more of the same fabric and make another. I am actually thinking about getting more of the same fabric to make a few more just like it. But it will probably be in different colors from the “My Folklore” line.
Here is what the bag looked like:
Diane, from Bee Square Fabrics did a nice write up of the bag.
I purchased the fabric from her Etsy shop.
I need to start cutting out my bags and getting them sewn and listed. I don’t know why I am having such a hard time with it. I can sew them up so fast, but the cutting the fabric part is what is time consuming and annoying to me. I need to get past that if I want to make anything of this.
Your bags are beautiful! I hope you can speed up your cutting process so we can see more of them!
Cutting can be easy once you get a system down. Do you have templates you can use to trace or cut around? Are you using a rotary cutter? You can have custom acrylic templates made for you pretty easily. I have done that for quilt making, and it keeps you so much saner!
You can look into one of these places to see if the prices make sense for you…

Best wishes for speedy cutting!
I use a rotary cutter and have paper templates, but I never thought of trying to find out about acrylic! Thanks for the tip and the links!
The cutting is the tedious and most boring part of it. I would rather have the stack of fabric cut itself and be ready for me to sew!
beautiful bag!
