Sew Together Bag - Millie's Closet

I made another Sew Together Bag in one of Lori Holt's fabric lines by Riley Blake, called "Millie's Closet". 

It's a birthday gift for one of my quilty friends, so I love the sayings "Just take one stitch at a time" and "Eat Cake"!

Each side of the bag is a different color.

There are so many color combinations in this line, I couldn't choose just one :)

This bag is a little difficult to sew, but once you've made one or two, they get easier.
The bag is so roomy on the inside with all the different compartments. 

I love this label, "You make me Happy"!

I centered it on the dress, and I love the look.

I color coordinated the pockets with matching zippers.

You can't see it very well, but the center two sections have purse designs.  One is green and the other is red.

I finished it off with a red zipper and a cute zipper pull.

You can see the last sew together bag that I made here.
The color combinations for these bags are endless.
Even though they are very time intensive, I see a lot more of the bags in my future!

Sew together bag - modern minis

I've seen Sew Together Bags all over Pinterest and Instagram.

I always thought they were really cute and wanted to make one for myself.

I used fabric from Lori Holt's Modern Minis collection by Riley Blake, and I tried not to use "girlie" colors.

I tend to use a lot of pinks and aquas in my projects and I wanted this bag to be more neutral.

Modern Mini has lots of cute quotes.

I chose Bee Happy.

I chose Happiness is Homemade for the opposite side.

I used red mason jars on the sides.

I wanted the zipper color to pop from the binding.

Look how adorable the inside is!!!  

The 3 pocket linings are the bubble quote prints in orange, white and blue.

Each of the four inside pockets have a different print, and the side pieces both have a different print on the lining as well.

I embellished the inside with a cute label.

On the opposite side, I sewed a piece of spring green felt and scalloped the edges.

The inside of the bag can hold lots of goodies, including a large chocolate bar!

Most of the bag was easy and straightforward.

Sewing the pockets into the side seam was a little tricky, and sewing the tabs around the zipper ends was hard for me.

I found a tutorial that helped me, you can see it here.

The bag has so much room!

It can store sewing supplies, school supplies, makeup, or anything else you can dream up.

I'm going to make a lot of these Sew Together Bags for Christmas gifts, I just need more time :)

It looks especially cute with a little "scissors" zipper pull.
