Thank you for taking time to stop by my blog during the
Riley Blake Quilted Cotton Blog Tour!
I always enjoy sewing with Riley Blake fabric and this new double-sided quilted cotton fabric is
certainly one of my new favorites! There are so many beautiful designs this fabric comes in, but
sometimes the "Creepy Carol" in me comes out and I can't help myself...I love the skulls and dots!
RBD's Basic Solid Lime looks great with the dots and skulls, but so would any other color...including purple.
I'm always grabbing a tote bag for my quick trips in or out-of-town and I thought

I'm always grabbing a tote bag for my quick trips in or out-of-town and I thought
this bag would be perfect for so many different stuff-and-go type things.
I had so much fun thinking of what I could put in it!
The
“Just A Round Bag” pattern uses only
one yard of double-sided quilted cotton fabric and goes together quickly. It would make a
great bag for gifts, travel, sewing, toys, or whatever you can fit inside of it
and the six pockets. It can hold a lot! Using Riley Blake's double-sided cotton fabric makes it fun
to switch sides to create different versions and eliminates the need to use
batting.
I've got the pattern listed HERE on Craftsy if you'd like to make one.

Just Some Chips and Soda Bag
Add a few apples to make it look healthier.
Sleepover Bag
Don't forget your toothbrush!

I love the names of these sodas and so do my grandsons! Too funny!
Luckily, they don't really contain what the label says they do...yucky!
More crazy-in-love about the design on one side of the quilted cotton than the other?
No problem!
Here's a version with only the dots on the outside and a ruffle (I love ruffles!)
Plus, instead of fabric for the pockets, I used some vinyl so I could see what was in each pocket.
Blimey Limey Dots
It holds all my favorite sewing tools, plus lots of RBD fabric!
This fabulous double-sided quilted cotton comes in so many different designs.
You can see them all over at Riley Blake...HERE.
Thank you Riley Blake for creating this really cool fabric!

Great bag and pictures. That bag has soooo many great uses. I want one.
ReplyDeleteThe bags are great, Carol! Those are all such fun ideas. I really like the vinyl on the outside, easy to see what you've got. It would make the best gift. Thanks for the tutorial. Okay, who is playing with those creepy dolls?
ReplyDeleteI am glad that I am not the only one who has a slight obsession with skulls and love that the added polka dots to the opposite side. I am in love. The bag is sooo fab. I just might have to make a twin to yours. :) Great work!!
ReplyDeleteJust love this bag and thank you for the tutorial. I can see this as a great bag for my grandsons to 'cart' their many special cars around. I love the drink bottles - have never seen those before.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great size bag. Am making one at my retreat this weekend! Thanks for the tut! And love the painters tape for marking the straight lines. Hubby liked it too. He's a 30 year 3M employee! There's lots of painters tape, scotch tape, post it notes, you name it 3M products around our house! Love all the creative ideas for the bag too. I'm sure my 6 year old granddaughter will think she NEEDS one for her barbies too!

ReplyDeleteAwesome bags, Carol!! Such fun and so much potential! Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteFabulosas las ideas que tenemos con el modelo de ese bolso
ReplyDeleteMuy practico!!!!
Oh my gosh! I LOVE this bag. You piqued my interest when you showed it with those monster dolls. Before seeing those, the skulls fabric was one I wasn't super interested in. BUT, your super cute bag and the dolls next to it was all it took. My oldest granddaughter is collecting those dolls and it never occurred to me how perfect the skulls fabric would be. DUH me!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for making it so obvious to this Grandma. LOL
Love your bags! What a great thing to do with the fabric. Now to find the fabric! Love you tutorial.
ReplyDeleteCarol ... your tutorial is wonderful and sew easy to follow! Even I want to make on of these bags and I do not make bags. My favorite is the one with the ruffle and the clear pocket on the outside. Great photos! Thanks for sharing ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteWay cute, you clever girl!
ReplyDeleteCarol! These are just terrific bags!! Love the pictures of their uses - so fun to see your collection of Monster High dolls with the skull fabric, lol! Thanks for the tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI am glad I'm not the only one with a creepy side:) Love the skulls and the one with the vinyl is too cool!!! I'm not a big bag maker, but think I could give this one a try. The quilted cotton makes it so easy!
ReplyDeleteOnce your cute little monkey boys see the first bag, you might have to make two more. ; ) Your bags are so cute and so very versatile. Congrats for being chosen for RBD's blog tour!
