A Tale of Two Bags
June 02, 2009
I made these two very-different Amy Butler swing bags for my sister's friend, Erin. She shall choose the fairest of them for her own.
The first is very vintage--made from an old tablecloth and some of my favorite coordinating vintage cotton. It's a soft, slouchy bag--so comfy. It had a few tiny holes in the outside fabric, so I just put some little appliqued flower patches over them for added character! It has one large pocket inside.
The next is made from some of Amy Butler's own line of fabric in mustard and gray. It's more polished, crisp and modern. The applique on the front was taken from part of the pattern in one of the coordinating fabrics. I free-stitched it on, so it has lots of ziggy, zaggy lines through it. This bag has three pockets inside.
See that little white tag inside? I got some new custom logo tags from Etsy. Now I'm a pro!
