THE TAMMY BAG, my new project bag!

Once again I joined the blog-hop. Thank you !Sew We Quilt
for giving the opportunity to join your group.
This time we all were to make THE TAMMY BAG.
 
I have used two of the Luna Notte range from Mode, left-over fabrics 
from an other project. Here`s my great looking project bag :-)
 
A big bag, I say! It is really the double seize of what I expected
when I started to cut. I stuffed lots of this and that into the bag just now,
and it is still room for more both inside and outside.
 
Funny light, I can see that!
Almost full bag!
Know I could have put in much more stuff!
I have made 2 pockets inside (1 small and 1 larger) .
 With the 2 pockets on each outside that really makes 6 all together!!
 Many, many years have gone  by since I used such a lock.
I had small ball-room-all-lace-bag when I was young :-)
 
A close-up so you may see the lovely matching lace I did put on each side
of the bag. And now please take time now to enjoy some other quilter`s bags.
 
 
I needed another of the Little Wallet. So then with the
matching fabrics as the project bag I made this one,
lots of space in the three pockets for some cards :)) 
 
Have enjoyed this challenge too, big thanks to mdm Samm and Carol.
 
At the moment lots UfOs are waiting in all corners of my sewing room.
 I can just hear they all screaming : me first ... me first ... ! We`ll see then
which one wins :)) I thank you for reading, Hope to be back soon,
 Till then enjoy your sewing,  Hugs from me :-)
