Hello everyone and welcome to
the Tammy Bag Blog Hop!
A big "Thank you" to Madam Samm
for hosting as well as designing this darling bag pattern!
Today I'm showing you my "Plan B" bag.
All this time I've been working on a cross stitch piece
that would have been the focal point of my Tammy bag.
You see I mistakenly looked at July
on the calendar instead of June
and thought my day to show my bag
was Wednesday the 17th.
Guess what?
In the month of June,
the 17th is Monday!!!!
PANIC!!!!
I knew I'd never finish the cross stitch on time.
So I decided on polka dot denim
with red gingham lining.
I used some fun ribbon and crocheted flowers.
I love this little bag
but I'm planning on finishing up the original design
in my head in the next few days.
I can't wait to show it to you when it's done :)
Until then, I hope you enjoy
my denim Tammy :)
Don't forget to check out all the other
crafty ladies showing their bags today as well :)

ReplyDeleteI love your bag! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh this is one of my favorite...love the denim
ReplyDeleteJust darling! Love the muse ribbon!
ReplyDeleteI love the denim polka dot w/ the red gingham. It brings back memories of red gingham dresses that mom made for both of us. As well, she made red gingham shirts for my two brothers. We wore them when we went shopping. That way, if I got lost from them, all I had to go was look at my clothes and then look for the same thing and find one of my family. We had several similar outfits. I especially like the way you put the gingham on the bias on the outside. I think it gives it a "classy" touch. You have piqued my interest as to what you had planned for your bag with cross stitch after seeing this stunning bag.
ReplyDeleteWell this one turned out really cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the bag.
ReplyDeleteWhy not use denim?? I will copy that.
ReplyDeleteReally sweet.
Thanks for sharing.
Oh, I do love the denim version, Karen. The trim and crocheted flower really set the blue of the denim off. Good that you had a back up plan but I can't wait to see how your original plan turned out as that cross stitch piece is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt is just darling in those fabrics. Super cute!
ReplyDeleteYour plan B is perfect! Love it!!!
ReplyDeleteIn a way i am glad you goofed up and had to make a second bag....otherwise i would of never had the chance to see this adorable bag ( the original plane sounds wonderful..ill be back to see it)
ReplyDeleteWhere did you find denim with polka dots ?? I am in love !!!

ReplyDeleteDarling denim with the dots and red accents make a great looking bag.
ReplyDeleteOh my, your plan B bag is adorable. I love all the ribbons on the front. Can't wait to see your Tammy bag with the cross stitch on it. That is going to be too cute!
