I made this
Emma Bag using fabric selvages for the exterior of the bag. It's a cross body bag with a flap and inside pocket and a zipper pocket. It's a small bag and perfect for someone who doesn't want to carry a lot with them or even for a young girl or teenager.
Emma is a ChrisW Design pattern. Easy to make and you can make with a flap or without a flap. The bag without a flap shows a ruffle instead. I find it fun to use my selvages in creative ways and making bags and baskets are my 2 favorite ways to use up selvages.

| Inside slip pocket |

| Inside zipper pocket I added on the other side. |

| Half of Fanny (lol!!!) to show the size of the bag. I made this bag when we had a bit of snow! I am behind in some of my postings! |
 |
| I love the dog paw selvage! It's so fun that a lot of companies are using shapes other than dots to show the colors on the selvages edges. |
 |
| I riveted the strap tabs to the sides of the bag. |
 |
| Back of Emma. |

| There is another selvage with a swirl instead of dots. |
This was the bag my friend saw in selvages, but asked me to make the Serendipity Hip (with a straight across top) in selvages for her.

Such a fun bag made with selvedges, Daryl. I have to get mine out and do something with them. They are multiplying.
ReplyDeleteLovely selvedge bag, I'm working with sledges too, at the moment. I also loved the other two bags you blogged about, one full size and one a little smaller. Great work!
