AliceBookBag

 

Alice pen case and bookmark form out a pretty, inspiring and literature spirited set with this book bag for YoungLady. All the stories will follow her where ever she goes.

This design is similar to BookBag No13. Despite the mouths of the bags are different the basic idea is the same: pretty fabric with charming lining. No any extras.

BookBag No13

Shhh... I made BookBag for Him too. It is a gift so shut up and don't tell anything about it...

I fell in L O V E with this fabric which I crashed at a fabric shop when seeking "superlon" padding for MyLaptopCase. It is very thin but I used the left over fleece from BlingBlingSaddleCover for the lining. The other side of the fleece is HotPink but it can not be seen through this black thin quilting fabric.

Now it is hidden well in the house and waits to be wrapped and given away as a gift.

BookBag No12

In BookBag No2 I used the same thick felt as I did in BookBag No9. This time I used different kind of sewing machine functions to decorate it.

Back to BookBag No7

Do you remember BookBag No7?  I made few more with similar GipsySpirit. This fabric is lively and despite I have used it for many BookBags each look different outside and most of them even inside. I really am in love with the idea of BookBags which MyFriend -DearFox- introduced Me!

To personalize them I used different kind of lining. This one is Golden...

...and this one is TurquoiseBlue.

BookBag No11

Do you remember this beautiful Summer rose I stitched and personalized with the beads? Now it decorates BookBag No9.

This BookBag has beautiful golden lining. This is one of those old fabrics I inherit from MyGrandmother.

BookBag No10

Do you remember these beautiful butterflies I stitched and personalized? Now I have decorated one more BookBag  with the stitching.

BookBag No9

BookBag No7 is made of thick felt to protect especially paperback books. Below you can see 3 different personalized versions of it.

BookBag No8

 

BookBag No6 is here.

I really enjoy to make these!

This one has beautiful nature themed ribbon.

BookBag No7

 I have made more BookBags. I used old fabric My mother-in-law found in her house. (What all we have and we don't even know it?!) I decorated it by golden ribbon I bought from Tallinn, Estonia. I think it all looks a bit like spiced with GipsySpirit.

The rose fabric was pretty thin so I decided these BookBags need a lining. I chose blue and I think it looks precious inside!

I made three of them!

BookBag No6

Do you remember my own design Birch - Koivu - Betula (free chart)? I have stitched it and I just love DMC Variegated shades because they help you to create a personalized look on the same public design.

But what I made of it all? I made a beautiful BookBag No6. It looks very bright and spring style.

BookBag No5

BookBag No5.

It is for DearMrW who loves chess. I bought this ribbon especially thinking abut Him and one of His favorite games.

BookBag No4

Today's BookBag has similar but different shade ribbon than BookBag No1 and BookBag No3. As you can see it is just a matter of opinion which you prefer to be the best shade for the similar fabric. It is very reasonable to buy several shades if you happen to find a ribbon at low cost and can't decide which is the best! Especially if you don't have any special meaning for it when buying.

I was in Tallinn, Estonia on last December. Partly also to get craft materials.  I visited famous & huge craft shop Karnaluks.

BookBag No3

For Her second BookBag YoungLady chose the same fabric with another lovely ribbon. In Her opinion RoseRibbon and this one look great with this fabric. For Her third BookBag She needs another fabric and another ribbon. And THIS was My 2nd option for Her BookBag gift!

This ribbon is similar but with different shade than BookBag No1 has.

BookBag No2

Another BookBag. This is for YoungLady. It is actually Her NameDay gift. We have always celebrated NameDay in the family by serving a cake or something sweet and a small gift for children.

I decorated Her BookBag by RoseRibbon. I have wide collection of ribbons. It was a bit difficult to choose which She'd like best. But because She needs more than one BookBag I decided sew one as a surprise and let Her choose the ribbon for the rest. When I showed Her MyCollection She had chosen this one and the one I will show you later...

BookBag No1

My friend -DearFox- introduced Me something very practical which existence I had no idea at all. But I considered it one of the most genius ideas. It is also a low cost gift to make... And fast one too. You can use just a pretty fabric; I included ribbon I bought from Tallinn, Estonia.

It is a bag for your book to keep it safe and tidy. It has no value or meaning to people who don't read. But the ones who read and carry their books around and have a book always with them know how precious gift this is to protect your most important item -which actually is not your smart phone.
