I thought my bag from my previous post was a bit plain, so I added a matching fabric flower.
I cut the flowers with my Big Shot and the Flower Folds Die. One of the greatest things about cutting fabric with your Big Shot, is that you can cut up to 8 layers at one time! So I only had to run the fabric through one time to get all 6 flowers. I sprayed them with fabric stiffener, crumpled them a bit and let them dry. Then I layered them, off setting them so I could see all of the cute patterns. I added a Designer Button with a bit of Baker's Twine tied in the center and hand sewed it to the bag.
I think it's just the perfect finishing touch!

Flirtatious Canvas Bag
Today's project is a sewing project. I haven't sewn in forever! I literally had to dust off my sewing machine. I was so excited to get my Flirtatious Fabric. I ordered several others too! I have lots of other projects in mind I can't wait to do.
This was an ordinary canvas bag. I just added some ruffles to dress it up! Each fabric assortment comes with 3 coordinating designs in a fat-quarter size. That's 27"x18", plenty of fabric to create a variety of fun projects.
I cut 3" strips, hemmed them, gathered them up and sewed them on the bag. Then, even though the Melon Mambo Pom Pom Trim is discontinued, I couldn't resist adding it! I think I may even have to add some flowers or buttons. The possibilities are endless!
Have you been considering joining the Stampin' Up! family? Now through July 31, you can for just $99. You'll also receive an adorable Christmas Keepsake Project Kit for joining. Contact me for all the details.
