Quilted Bag 2 & 3

These are two more bags made with the shiny lame-like fabric.  The fabric has pinks and purples and the bags are made from the same colorway but I used mostly pink fabric in one and purple in the other as the fabric has different shades in it.  I also used pink poly thread in the pink one and a deep purple poly in the purple one.  These have become so addictive that I have three more in the works.  I am using the turquoise colored fabric that I put in the previous post.  But I have gotten a different look by using green thread in one and a purple thread in another.  I love this fabric and the reflections of different colors.

Quilted Zipper Bag

This is a quilted bag pattern that I found on Stitch Delight. She has some delightfully complicated-looking easy patterns.  The fabric I used is from JoAnns and is the type of stretchy knit fabric used in swimsuits and dance costumes.  In some light it is green, teal, purple, or even blue. I found another colorway that is pinks and purples with a pastel look.  The bag has a layer of polymesh, a layer of thin batting, and the fabric.  The thread is a Yenmet medium blue metallic.  I am also trying a purple Superior Rainbow polyester which works just fine.  I have found that the thread works better if it is on the dark side as the shine continues to come from the fabric.  More bags like this are in my future.
