Hooked on Bags- February's Monthly Minis

 I have to admit that this

monthly mini took on a slightly different shape

and direction than previous months.

I've been hooked on making

vinyl project bags.

Since I shared my newest obsession 

in an earlier post  (Here, Bag It)

I have been making a few (lots) more.

I am not the originator of the pattern. 

I followed Jen's YouTube video, 

Jenn Craft Idea, Flosstube #23.5

but altered the size to make it just a little bigger.

My friend, Liz, gifted me a few more

vintage towels and I have definelty 

been having fun.

I have been trying to use fabric

from my stash, 

the green is an older Mary Englebreit 

print but worked perfectly with

the colors of the mint plant.

 A trip to the LQS helped

to find just the right fabrics to accent

some of the other embroideries.

I love the little chicks.  

The embroidery is crayon tinted and 

the piece was originally the front of a child size

apron that had been well loved.

Now I want to keep my eyes

open for some more cute vintage embroidered towels

looking for an new job.

But it can also fun to use other

cute fabrics.

Why not use some of my favorite

Dutch fabrics, bright colors,

and big prints.

The possibilities are endless.

I counted and I have 10 more

16" zippers left.

I see more bags in my future.

I'm linking with Wendy and the 

other mini makers .

Take a look at what wonderful minis these

fabulous quilters have been 

creating.  I hope I haven't stretch

the definition of mini too much

for February!

Until Next Time-
