I was pinning the bottom of some of the lined drawstring bags I am making when I went into the studio looking for something.
I got distracted and the next thing I knew I had planned six or seven new bags. I'm really going to like the blue one, above. I've had that fabric for over a dozen years. I think the gold Charley Harper moth fabric will look terrific with it.
In each case the body of the bag is the fabric at the center bottom. The contrast strip across the top is the fabric directly above. The linings are at the left (I hate dark fabric as lining of a bag. It makes it hard to see what's inside.) The fabric for the drawstring is either at the right or across the top.
I planned a couple of Christmas ones too.

Well, talk about taking something and running with it! All of those fabric selections are wonderful and uplifting.
A treat for the eyes…..I love your combos. And it’s that the truth about dark linings? I find myself thinking what gift or item would go with each bag, lol. A book for the typewriters, box of crayons or a watercolor set in the colorful flowers on black/crayons one……!
Apparently I was reading too fast. My first pass was "body bag". 🤣🤣
Great fabrics! Does Julie have broad shoulders to carry the blame? 🤣
Happy stitching.
The bag fabric combos are fantastic! You have an awesome stash. I absolutely love the Charley Harper moth fabric!! What is it called? I must try to find some!
