Do you remember the pouches I posted a few days ago? I told you they will be hidden into another gift…
… so here is the other gift: a smaller Amelie bag (I printed the original pattern at 80%).
I wanted to pair the flower with a simple fabric, that’s why I chose to use the striped fabric.
The small flower print is so cute, I am glad I also used it for the 2-color straps.
The folded flower is not appliqued to the bag, I just attached it with the button. As you see, the edges of this flower are finished with a fine zig-zag; there are so many options for this flower!
More about the flower’s pattern by the end of the week.
Would you like to easily sew your own mini bags?

Have a wonderful and productive sewing week!
i’m glad you had fun at your reunion, Geta. Perhaps some of your former classmates will be inspired take up quilting after re-uniting with you. You have a lovely and helpful website.
What adorable bags, Geta! Love the fabrics and that dimensional flower is amazing!
Love the reunion story. Yes you are fortunate to enjoy your work. It makes the day go quicker for sure. I love your pouches and the mini bag. i wish i had grand daughters to make these for. All the little ones in my life are boys. doh!
Congratulations on your graduation anniversary . Also the time spent with your former classmates. Mine was 51 yrs ago. I’ve missed all of mine, kept up with a few people and gave up a bunch. Most of the ones I kept are church buddies. Just spent a month in Austria with one and his mother. I started quilting with my grandmother before I started 1st grade. She put 2 marks on my finger. I sat under the frame, she put the needle through the fabric and ,using the 2 marks, I sent the needle back up. To this day I think of her many times. I will piece by machine or by hand but I will QUILT by hand!! Your patience and instructions are so like Mamaw – thank you. If I am lucky enough to visit your country , one of my goals would be to meet you in person .
Love your reunion story! And I love your new flower for purses! I have your pattern already so I want to make a new purse with the flower! Hope I can do at least a half decent job on it! I have a question for you. Where is your favorite place to do your shopping for fabric? Some of the internet places are so expensive and I have to wait until they have a sale. I now need to make a purse just for me!
Loved the Reunion story, congratulations!. We had ours last year. All of us met up after 39 yrs! We realized we were all the same!
Love your patterns and the quilts that you make and have great regards for you and your work.
Congratulations once agai
