March Bag

March 7, 2013

It is not spring here yet!  Yesterday we had a foot of snow- thick heavy late winter snow.  The kids were home for school and Travis spent most of the day home too- and outside with the kids.  I needed to make myself a new bag but I couldn't quite bring myself to use bright spring fabrics.  I know in another month I will be more inspired but for now, this is my March bag!  It only has a hint of spring…

Gingercake's 241 March Bag

This is Noodlehead's 241 bag.  Great pattern!  The green is a thrift store find- I think it's a corduroy with no whaling (non whale???) The leaves are the tiny bit I have left of a cloud nine fabric I bought long ago.  The interior is drop cloth canvas.  Have I told you how I have been sewing with drop cloth canvas?  It's from Lowes!  I just wash it before using and one cloth has lasted me for tons of projects.

See it in there?  The color is natural and the weight is nice especially for bags and things you want to be a little sturdier.

Hope you are having more spring weather than me!

Yellow Scrap Fabric Made into Hot pads!
