| Vinage Laundy Bag by Charise Randell |
Some months back, I was asked to contribute to the book "Mollie Makes Patchwork and Quilting." Of course I jumped at the chance! The publisher, Collins and Brown, asked for a paper pieced project to add to this skill building quilting book.
It was a fun project to design. I was inspired by vintage laundry bags, and my favorite paper piecing patterns to make - clothing!
The original design had the work "Laundry" embroidered beneath the clothing. Since Collins and Brown publishes in different languages I designed the sweet bee and flight path in its place : )
The individual clothing blocks are very easy to make and a fun way to combine some prized fabrics.
The bag is easy to construct and has a contrast drawstring top with contrast trim. I chose to use a coordinating fabric from the A-line skirt.
And a red gingham lining to match the ribbon.
It is a lovely book filled with wonderful projects. On my list it make is this adorable camera case.
And this sweet tea cozy.
Pavilion books sent me a extra copy so I am having a give away.

ReplyDeleteYour bag is lovely. These projects look like so much fun. I am making a baby quilt for a new great niece and a pin cushion for my sons fiancé. It will be civil war fabrics from her wedding dress and his wedding shirt.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely adorable!! Love it! I'm making a few gifts for coworkers (painting wine glasses, a personalized tool roll & a lunch bag).... Doubt I'll get to the other big stuff for family :) maybe a lap quilt or 2 if I hustle
ReplyDeleteI love your bag! This year I am making new stockings for our family. They are vintage and shabby chic looking and no names. And bigger for adult children. That way we can add to them as time goes on too!
ReplyDeleteCute!
ReplyDeleteI made a rag quilt for my daughter in law.
Your bag is just too cute! Great idea about substituting the bee flight path for the word "Laundry". I'm supposed to be working on a four piece, paper-pieced Nativity ornament set for a friend who collects Nativities. It was supposed to be her gift last year, but I didn't get them finished. I'm trying really hard to get around to them this year. Too many other "life" things seem to jump in front of this project though. Think she'd like to at least get what I do have finished and get the rest of them later? Now, there's a thought...
ReplyDeleteEverything you do is cute and I am not just saying that. I love your work! Great giveaway! Thanks
ReplyDeleteI am getting a late start but I am hoping to make some mug rugs and pouches for gifts this year. I really love your laundry bag!
ReplyDeleteLove the laundry bag!
ReplyDeleteI am making a wall hanging and some needle keepers for my quilty friends. Have some other small projects planned if I have time.Thanks!
I adore your laundry bag. As for handmade gifts this year, I have been playing with my hexagon trim tool and making potholders… super fun!!
ReplyDeleteI am working on several Christmas projects...2 quilts and making gift tags and Christmas cards.

Just love your designs, I have been sewing table runners, aprons and a t-shirt quilt
ReplyDeleteLove the designs. I am done. I made 3 quilts, potholders, moppines, ornaments and lots of secrets.
ReplyDeleteOh, Charise, that is so cute! I love it. I'm afraid I'm not making much this year. I make Christmas ornaments for our kids. Lately, I have been using felt. I'd better get moving on those! I still haven't finished the one for my late daughter from last year, so you can see how slow I am.
