I think I've gone Bag Crazy...lol

[carolivy]

I'm wondering if there is a cure...I have made 6 more drawstring bags and 3 more of the zipper pocket bags, with 3 more cut out and ready to put together. I also have 2 more of the Origami Pocket Bags cut out, ready to be put together.

I'm going to take them all with me to the Craft Show, this coming Saturday. I just hope others like the bags as much as I've had fun making them. :thmbup:

Love them!! I have one for jewelry but want to make one for my tatting. They are perfect to stash my tatting in when I go to our sailboat.

Beautiful collection!

I have a black satin one bought at an estate sale back in the early 1970's for jewelry. I loved it. When I saw these in cotton for tatting I bought several for myself and as gifts.

Carolivy, they look fab!

I finally got around to buying two squares of fabric to make one but of course I've been tatting instead of sewing! Might get around to it eventually. Is the drawstring one, the one you make with circles of fabric, the one inside being slightly smaller to make pockets? I think it's the origami one I was going to attempt.

Wouldn't worry about a cure... I think it's a nice madness!

Best wishes,
Frivole

Yes, the Drawstring one is the one with the 2 circles....the one inside being smaller than the one outside. After having made a bunch of these, I think my favorite sizes are 21"/16" and 24"/18". The ones smaller than this are cute, but don't give much room.

WOW you have quite a production. Time to open a shop....

[crazytatter]

How about just put them in Etsy.

[carolivy]

Not going the Etsy way. I'm going to open a Store on Blogspot if I can figure out the Cart part. (I have a friend who has a store there...no fees...I like that part!)

Here is the last of the bags I am making for the Craft Show I am doing tomorrow. 2 more Dorset bags (made with 22" squares) and 3 more of the zippered pocket bags.

You inspired me to google bags and look what I found: http://www.hookyarnandneedles.com/node/63 I don't see the designer's name anywhere, but it sure is a lovely bag.
