Fat Quarter Bags

I haven't done much sewing in my lifetime, but these bags are so easy to make and a great beginner project! It's also a quick project.. took me 2-3hrs to make one, but I am a slow sewer. All you need are 2 fat quarters, interfacing, a sewing machine, and some buttons. They even have special interfacing with the pattern of the bag already on it. You iron on your fabric, cut on the lines, and then assemble. The interfacing even has lines showing where to stitch!

My Mom helped me on the first one, the one with the brownish orange squares. Then I made the daisy one with the cute bumble bee buttons all on my own using the easy interfacing although I did cut it out on the wrong line so its about an inch shorter than the other two. I made the black and grey plaid one last and it is definitely my favorite and the one I have used the most so far.

The most challenging part was arranging the handles so that when you fold the inside of the bag over it contrasts with the lining. I had to think real hard about which direction to sew them on every time, haha!
