Recently one of our quilt guild members
issued a challenge to the rest of us.
Her challenge:
using the home dec samples that she rescued from going to the trash
[they were out-dated].
we are to make some thing from these samples,
show and tell about it,
and
make some thing from them to donate to the guild as a $$$$ maker.
Earlier I posted about a Roly Nester zip bag made from the samples.
I donated one to the guild
it was part of that evening's giveaway.
[Actually, my dil won it - fair and square - and she was thrilled]
My next project in this challenge used FOUR of the samples
I made another Simply Chic Carryall

As you can see in addition to my netbook
I've a place for my ear buds, surge protector and
wireless mouse.
I used store bought handles this time.
They just seemed to go with the wonderful carpet bag samples.

What a beautiful bag. I love the carpet bag look. I need one of these for my laptop. Beats the big bulky briefcase I carried when I traveled for work.

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see this one. Hope you bring it Tuesday evening to Knit Nite.
ReplyDeleteOh WOW Gerry! I adore the carpet bag and really love how it's so vintage and chic, and yet it houses a modern gadget! It's absolutely adorable.
ReplyDeleteI also love how you've given me a little giggle (thank you!) when I first opened your blog and saw those lovely pins (legs) modelling your ("their!!!") apron!!!! LOL! THank you for the giggle!!!
Hugs!!! Vikki xoxo
That's a fantastic way to use up those fabric samples. Plus it's a very chic way to carry your netbook.
