Hello! It is that Scrap-Happy time of the month again:)! I always love linking up with Kate over at Tall Tales from Chiconia and seeing what fun creations everyone is making from their scraps:)
I helped my daughter in law make a beautiful quilt for her new baby boy. She cut, sewed, and then cut and sewed again. It turned out wonderfully!
After it was all sewn together, there were quite a few beautiful fabric strips leftover.
I can’t throw lovely fabric away, so I decided to gather them up and make a matching bag for her.
I have had this bag pattern in my file for years. Now seemed like the perfect time to use it:)
I sewed the scraps into strips and then quilted them to a backing.
Looking good so far! I followed the pattern to construct the bag and then came to the grommet section. I used Dritz curtain grommets that I bought at Walmart but you can get them on Amazon as well. 
- There was a template to mark the fabric.
- I traced the circle
- Pinned my fabric together to keep it from shifting as I cut
- I took a DEEP breath and cut this large hole into my bag. Eeeeek!! That was scary!!
- I snapped the grommet in place.
Woo hoo! They look GREAT!! Some of the grommets were easier to snap together than others. There is a lot of fabric in there! But they all came together:)
The bag turned out so cute!! I really love the large grommets.
I even used scraps to make an inside pocket to hold bottles or a phone.
Here is the matching set. SWEET!! They look so good together:). I probably need to make another one for me!
I hope you have a Scrap Happy Day!
It's a T-Sweets day!
