More "perfect size" shoulder bags

Keeping this post at the top til Friday...for newer posts, scroll down...

Remember the bag I told you about earlier this summer.  I still love it.  I've carried it all summer.  My young friend, Cameryn, came over to learn how to make one of her own. 


And do you remember that I said there might be some more bags, maybe one for you?

Well, here they are.  Four of them.   In a variety of fabrics.


If you'd like the opportunity to win one of these, leave a comment on this post with a way for me to get in touch with you, email address, blog link, etc. If you're chosen, you get to pick the bag you want.  If you aren't chosen, I'll be putting the rest of the bags on sale soon....an etsy shop in the works, perhaps!

A few close-ups...

China/India
fabrics purchased in the Xiamen Fabric market and Hyderabad, India last summer, size is approximately 8 x 11 inches.



Toile and Flowers
sweet little children in apple greens with tiny purple flowers on the inside



Soccer Mom
Black canvas with white stitching lined with soccer ball fabric, pocket on the inside has red and white polka dot edging



Indian Stitchery
 Richly embroidered fabric from Chirala Handlooms, which we visited last summer, back is quilted solid section from the same fabric, handle is gold from embroidered fabric border.  This bag is smaller than the others. (7 x 9 inches)



So, there they are.  They'll be up til Friday.  Join the fun!

I can't believe you're giving these away, Beth! But I'll sure take one if they're up for grabs...so pretty!

Hi Beth,

Those bags are beautiful. Since I need another bag like I need a hole in my head, don't include me in the drawing. But I did want to let you know they are lovely. My favorite is the 'china' bag.

Hmmm...I think this would make a lovely diaper bag for a certain baby girl we both know :). I finally stopped stalking your blog and left a comment! Thank you for your encouragement here; I love to read it!

I agree with the comments, Beth! These are all beautiful! I love the Indian fabric (smaller one) and Chinese fabric ones the best. (I'll throw my name in the hat for them!) :)

Yay, you put them up! I love them all! Of course, the toile is so cute matching Miss C's curtains. I love the China/India one too - so pretty!

Beth, you can certainly include me in your generous giveaway. I love both the China and embroidered bags. They would be just great for takealong knitting/reading/sketching. And, I would be most honored to tell everyone who compliments who is responsible for the lovely work.

These are great, Beth! It made me laugh because I just finished making my first home-made bag (out of an old skirt which I haven't worn since I had kids!). Yours are much prettier though :)
