Introducing Miss January!

Garden Gate Fabrics is proud to present the first bag of the Bag of the Month for 2011, January!

 

Pattern: 4th Quarter Bag by Silk Road Creations

Fabric: Arabesque from Benartex

Kit: cost is $25, and that includes fabric to make the bag, fusible batting, hardware, pattern, and Alex's tips and tricks.

Class: A class for making this bag will be held Saturday, January 29 at 10 am.  The price for the kit and the class will be $30.  Please sign up so we can make sure we have enough materials and space.

This bag was really fun to make, and reasonably priced.  It's also a good size.  It is 9.5 inches tall without the handles, and 16 inches tall with them.  It is 9.5 inches wide as well, and 3 inches deep.  If you actually follow the pattern you might get a slightly larger bag, I had to do some fudging throughout due to lack of reading all directions first. :) It has 12 pockets on the inside, and 2 pockets on the outside.  Overall, it would make a great everyday purse.  The fusible batting that I used helps the bag to keep it's shape really well too.  Please join us in making a bag a month for 2011!  In closing, here are some gratuitous shots of the bag from other angles.
