Sew Together Bag...Can't make just one!

I've now completed two Sew Together bags, and I'm hooked! I have plans for a third one already. :) Christmas presents for everyone...

My November One Monthly Goal was to make a second bag. Done! I made both using the Dianthus collection from Paintbrush Studio. I had a lot of fun choosing which prints to use where, and they came out totally different from each other. 

I love the yellow zipper contrasting against the navy binding.

I still think the half circle stripe is my favorite print in the collection. 

Looking inside the pockets...

Aqua or yellow...which one do you like better? One is definitely a gift; the second might be as well, if I'm willing to give it away. :) 

If you want to make one, you can purchase the pattern from Sew Demented on Craftsy. 

My first Sew Together bag! + OMG

I just finished my first Sew Together bag (pattern from Sew Demented). I've wanted to make one of these for a couple years now, so when the Great Lakes Modern Quilt Guild decided to do it for a sew day, I was in! Except I'm in Florida and not Michigan so I was in virtually.  :)

Here's my first finished bag:

Love all the different fabrics inside. The fabrics are from Paintbrush Studio's Dianthus collection.

This bag is great zipper practice. I really like how it comes together, and even the outside zipper isn't scary. 

My One Monthly Goal for November is to make a second Sew Together bag using the yellow and pink prints from the Dianthus collection. Thanks, Patty at Elm Street Quilts, for keeping me on track each month!
