OK....so after seeing Angie's rag quilt purses made with the SU Scallop Square Bigz die....I HAD to make one!!!! Don't look TOO close, it definitely has the "homespun" feel to it!
I decided to use just TWO fabrics. The inside of the bag is all the same fabric (the lighter swirly pattern). And the ends and bottom are all the same fabric (the darker flower pattern). So I only have the quilt block look of the two patterns on the front and back.
I am actually going to do these with my Cadette Girl Scout troop!! I needed to make one first, so I knew what I was doing. And to make sure it was something that I thought we could tackle!! I definitely think we'll use ribbon or some sort of premade handles for the straps. And we will NOT be making the closer strap with the button. Those were FUSSY!
Very Cute! I made one also and I agree forget the straps. I found some straps a Wal-mart that look like the ones on Canvas bags only in different colors. That is what I will be using next time. Good luck with your scouts.
