An Apple Bag a Day....

.......keeps the doctor away.


I spent way too much time making this bag but it is lined, quilted and has a quilted pocket inside.  

I need to make another one too!


I am planning a few more makes before Christmas and am wondering if I will get everything done in time!?






But I was not the only one making in the last few days - my eldest wanted a turtle to wear on her head  - bizarre I know, it it has something to do with Hetalia and Spain!??  She set her young sister on the task and she has successfully accomplished the mission I think....?

As you can see!

For some reason she doesn't think it is very good -  is she suffering from the quilters over-critical eye already?  I think so!

In progress!

Not much been happening around here for the last couple of days as I got an early Christmas pressie from the children - a nasty headcold!




Over it now though and desperate to catch up on so many things!




Need to make two girly pressies for teens and have decided to go with bags - always useful for carrying or just containing things I thought!




Only made a start on one so far but should finish it later tonight if my luck is in.  I am using a cute apple print in decorator weight combined with a burgundy corduroy fabric!    Both sides are the same and are lightly quilted round those apples - helps to make it all a bit sturdier...
  

Here is the fabric for the lining and inner pocket - which goes better than it seems from the photo.  The pocket is quilted in chevrons too for a bit more substance and bound with a contrasting red/white stripe!

And just because I cannot show you a finish today here is my constant companion!  Oops woke her up !

Can you tell??

 The third photo is a bit scary - she was only yawning but my she looks fierce!  Seen a lion yawning on a nature programme - like that but a bit smaller!


Are you ready??


Smelling salts to hand??






Here she is then and don't say I didn't warn you!

Good thing I kept this photo small as I wouldn't want you having nightmares!


Sweet dreams!
