Quilted Travel Bag
As my daughter had her birthday last week I wanted to do something new this year as a gift.
With a new sewing machine that has all
theses bells and whistles for quilting, I thought that it might be good idea to
make a bag. But this time not just a bag, but big travel bag that will be just
hers, personalized and made as a gift and puzzle from all the family.
As
her sister and dad created one of the ornaments, I completed the job with all
of her favorite characters from early years and even some drawings that she did
when she was
just one year old - Mister O.
That was actually her firs drawing
of people so I found it amusing to put there.
Some of the "inventions: were the flower watch - real watch
that I mad a pocket for it to look like a flower so that she can take it out
and replace battery. First words of her hip-hop song is also embellished in,
along with her name, of course.
I used eleven types of different fabrics and layer it with betting
for quilt so it creates more sturdy shape. No pattern used, it was on the go
again.
It was a long work, especially creating all these little characters and quilting it. It took longer than usual.
Bird is her own creation, I asked her to do for some bed covering.
Handles were wrapped in same quilted parts of fabrics.The bottom part was made from corduroy to be more durable. The body was created from dark jeans fabric.
Some of the important "people" found place on it in smaller sizes.
Big flower is actual pocket, since inside has no compartments, as I thought that those would deform the outside of bag.
Here sister made a house for her
She still has these two guys in her bed
