Summer-y Swap

The "Sew Something Summery Swap" is just finishing up on Craftster (that awesome online crafting community).  My partner said she would love a "funky bag" so this is what I sent her:  one of my signature bags made out of a fun and somewhat funky fabric; it has a lot of different design elements, and a lot of colors that my partner likes.  I thought the bird silhouette and the big flower made it look summery, despite all the black on it!


This is the back; there is a pocket in the center, but the patterns have disguised it.


The inside is a drapery fabric



I also made a small pouch using fabric from the same line.  The button in the middle says "I'm not weird, I'm limited edition" which is a quote I found on her Pinterest. 


Here's everything from a different angle.  I included a fat quarter of the black and pink polka-dot fabric because black and pink is one of her favorite color combinations.


She has received this package now and she's very happy with it!  She sent me a lovely set of placemats and coasters in return:


Aren't they gorgeous?  I love the colors!  This swap was a lot of fun...if you aren't on Craftster, you are missing out!  You can find me there under the name Leslieshappyheart.  If you sign up, I would love to hear from you!

    This is a fun bag. I love the bird on the front, and especially the pink and aqua panel at the bottom on the front.

    I've been trying to get black designated an official color of summer forever : )
    I just love this bag and so nice to see the inside here--purse perfection, really, it's a gem! Your partner is over the top delighted. And she gifted you with a great package- I love the craftswomanship on everything from both of you.

    Hooray for summmmmmerrrr, even scorchers like this one, Leslie!
