So, here is a post with some things that I made for people. First, two giant grocery bags. One for my sister (who has been asking for one for AGES) and one for my mom. My mom now has more of my bags than I do!
Futurama bag, Designs mostly made out of felt, the white on the 'Planet Express' is a different type of material and the words are fabric marker. The rest is embroidered.
I made this bag a little differently, instead of making a front, a back, and a bottom/side piece, I just used one giant piece of fabric and boxed the two corners. SO much easier. I may just do this from now on. I'll have to ask my sister how it works out, like, if it is as sturdy with groceries as the other one.
This one was for my mother, old school style. Matches the other two bags I made for her (here and here apparently I don't have a single picture of the other one. Guess I never posted it....I'll take some pictures in a bit and post them at the end of this post...it isn't like it's deviating from the content of the post!). The design was just really winged on this one, I had no idea what to do. I had the bag already cut out for something else I was going to make and just tried to come up with the design for it. Supposed to look kinda home made (anthropologie inspired). She likes that look
I have to say, it really was a HUGE pain in the ass to iron all those bags together, but I'm almost out of Target bags which means A)no more bags or B) I have to use other ugly bags. Making the bag fabric for my sister was especially tough because it is just one really massive piece of 'fabric'. Much harder than the smaller pieces. I was happy with the way they turned out.

Oh, and here (on the left)are the pictures of that old bag I made for my mom ages ago, since I haven't posted it before. And on the right is the bag that I linked earlier. Just for ease of viewing.
That's all for this post!
