The Latest Bagley Bag... a cute baby tote!  I love the printed fabric, especially the elephants!  


This is the inside... a few pockets and a magnetic snap!  


The bag is reinforced with both fusible fleece and interfacing to give it strength and shape.  I love how it stands up all on it's own.

Silent Auction Item!

I made this bag for a silent auction to benefit my son's Hockey team.  It turned out cute, but was a pain to make.  Everything that could go wrong did.  I had picked some upholstery fabric to use in the beginning.  I had the whole bag cut out and tried to iron the interfacing on.  First, I burned the fabric... learned you  can't set your iron so high with this type of upholstery fabric.  Re-cut the piece, tried to iron on the interfacing again... my interfacing wouldn't stick to the fabric.  Ugh.  So, I threw all the upholstery fabric in the circular file and proceeded to begin all over again with regular cotton fabric.  Then the pattern was incorrect on the pleat placement... I had to do a bunch of modifications.  

Lesson learned, never try a new pattern when you are in a time crunch!  Everything that can go wrong, will!!!!!  

 Vintage buttons from my Grandma Heiden!  
 It turned out cute, but smaller than I had hoped.  

Glad it all came together in the end... I almost gave up on this one!

The latest Bagley Bags projects!

This is a tutu that I made for my niece... it took 75 feet of tulle!  


This next project is a cute little pouch for your key ring!  It turned out adorable.  





This is my lame attempt at learning how to crochet!  Ha Ha!  



Golden Drumsticks!  My friend and I made these for her 20 year old son on his Golden Birthday!  He is a great drummer and he loved them!  





I made 8 of these crazy elephants at Christmas time... they were fun to give away to the little ones!  





 This was an experiment, I modified a pattern to make this envelope money system wallet.  Dave Ramsey would be proud!  






This was a custom bag made for my cousin in law!  I love this fabric!

Recent Creations!

Well, once again, I am way behind in putting up pictures of things I have created lately.  However, Blogger has changed the way it uploads pictures.  It is much faster, so this will be much easier from now on.  Hope you like the pictures!

I am way behind!  Here are some pictures of the newest bags I have made over the last few months... hope you like them!  

This first one is a fun Fairy Backpack for my niece!  She loved it!  




This is an awesome pattern I found on the internet... I used some of Amy Butler's home dec weight fabric, and I love it!  This one was for ME!  :)



This is the backpack I made for my nephew!  He really liked all the dinosaurs!


This bag and style has been very popular!  I love the fun fall floral prints.  I think I need one of these, too!  


Another fall bag...
