Cute new bags

Well, I finally got around to making some new bags with my new fabric. I took my time, and made a sample bag with some cheap curtains I had bought from a charity shop. The style worked so I set to work with the lovely owl fabric. I adore this fabric, it's a fairly heavy weight (not curtain fabric, but heavier than plain cotton) and it sits so well. It took me a long time as I had to work out how to put on the magnetic clasps, but i did it, I posted a pic on facebook and it sold! i was so chuffed, especially as I suck at taking photos.

So I prepped 4 more bags in 4 different fabrics. I got around to making them yesterday and I have decided to keep the owl bag for myself. I have enough fabric to make 2 more of these owl bags, so I will be making more for my fair at Easter. These don't have the magnetic clasps as i have none left! Oh well, they are still pretty.

I'm not sure how much to make for my first fair, but I think 2 bags in each fabric and the smaller ones I have already made should hopefully be enough. The space can be taken up with brooches and hair clips. Here's the new bags, I hope you like them xx
