heart bag

this is probably my most used creation! it's made of quilted red gingham cotton with a white cotton lining and adjustable straps ^^ it can't really fit much because of the funny shape lol but it's enough for an umbrella, wallet and water bottle which works for me most of the time! it's actually pretty interesting because i decided to use plastic sheets as interfacing help i can't really remember why i didn't just choose to use normal iron on interfacing but i guess it fulfils the purpose... it was also my first time quilting and it was really fun! it's a very rudimentary version of quilting - i just used normal polyester stuffing and pinned the fabric pieces together but i just adore the effect it looks so good with the gingham too.

bear collage bag

she's not just a bag... she's a bag with a backstory... so i found the stuffed bear around when i was clearing out my room and i felt kinda bad for it cus it's a lil deformed and sad. like i don't wanna throw it away thatd be mean yk so i thought Hm! maybe i could make something with this! for me the most obvious choice was to make a bag lol so i went on pinterest and found some inspiration to get me going yay! i lost the links but you've probably seen similar bags around yup very coquettish and cutiepie. surprisingly i didn't even need to buy any supplies to make this - i just gathered scraps from around the house and took the straps from an old tote bag. oh and the little circle that the bear is sewn to is actually stuffed! so it kinda feels like a cushion :3 unfortunately i didn't really handsew the bear down properly so it kind of detached after a while?? i have yet to repair it bc im lazy but i should probably do it soon
