Scallop Bag

Have you seen this sew-a-long at see kate sew??It's so cute!(you can click on the pic above to be directed to her site and the link-up)She made a tote pattern with a whole tutorial--with lots of pictures!

this is how mine turned out!

I was in need of a bag for church. just for our class manuals (marriage and family relations--so much fun!) plus scriptures and my gospel principles book (which I canNOT find!! grrr.)

I HAD to add a ruffle....of course. 

it's so thin because I only used a fat quarter of the aqua (my fav color, can you tell?)

and that was all I had left! lol

I also serged the edges of my scallops before sewing them on. 

just in case. 

I added some pockets to the back of the outside

like for my cell phone!!

I always lose it at church...not that I really use it, but since I can't find my manual, I use it for that. 

I added a label. I figured I could since I did make it by hand and I am not going to be selling it....and I'm not claiming to have made the pattern.

the inside....

I used an old curtain!!

awesome!

plus I added more pockets, you know, for pens, candy bars, my checkbook, etc.

it's super awesome! 

I love having something DONE!

Plus, it really only took like a day, if that.

Now....go make one for yourself!!
