I did find some great finds at the quilt shop and will share them tomorrow.
But today I thought I would show you a new project that came from testing a pattern.
I decided to make my own fabric from a bunch of selvages that I have been collecting.
Here are the two pieces I made.
Details!
The Finished Product! Stephanie at Loft Creations has created another one of her cute bag designs. She asked me to test the pattern. This bag is called Saturday Market. Stephanie's patterns are very well written for you try one or all of her patterns.
This bag will be one of my new DIL's Christmas gifts. Before Stephanie actually had a name for it I was thinking it would make a great bag to take into the grocery store when she has just a few things to pick up for dinner. That way my DIL won't have to use paper or plastic and she will look very stylish too.Check out the other versions on Stephanie's blog. So cute!
With Passion,
Carrie P.
Advent Scripture reading for today is Isaiah 40:9-11.

Hi Carrie...that is fasinating!!
You sure have patience...it is beautiful and I'm sure it will be a delightful gift!!

I like yours best!! Fantastic...make me one will ya? I have selvages to send. LOL (not near as many as you but seriously if you want more I will give them to you just let me know) Tell me about P & S....I decided against going yesterday and got some of my quilt work done. Nothing like a dark dreary day to quilt.
I saw this bag on Stephanie's blog, and loved it!!! I am working on saving my selvages, and ONE DAY I will make a really cute project like yours ;-D
I love it! And yet another use for something we use to throw away! Recycling at it's best.
Oh, that's very sweet.
I see selvage projects everywhere but never think to save mine. Yours looks great.
I love the bag! Your sewing and selvages plus Stephanie's pattern are terrific together. So what did you buy yesterday?
Your bag has a big smile factor. I love the selvedges combined with the very cute bike fabric. A great gift. Thank you so much Carrie for your time, talent, and blog link love.
Looks amazing! Very creative. Looks like I need to start saving mine!!
What a great bag!! Your DIL will be delighted. You have such great selvages. I haven't been bit by this bug yet but it could happen. For now I use my selvages to stake plants in the garden.
A really cut bag, Carrie.
I love the bicycle fabric and the stitching detail on the pocket.
A great gift!
I love it!!
That is sooooo cute!!
Your bag is just too adorable! I'm going to have to quit throwing my selvages away.
Oooo I LOVE this bag!! VERY cute!!

Love your bag! How fun to make your own fabric! Your DIL will love it!!!
OOO I like surprises!
And what a great bag!!
I love Stephanie's bag designs. Your bag looks great. I love selvages and keep telling myself that I'm not going to collect another thing but sometimes I just can't help myself.
This is so super-de-duperdy cute! Love it! I have a jar of selvages but I don't know if I will ever do anything with them.
Turned out really cute! Your DIL will love it for sure!
Just adorable, Carrie. Stephanie makes the cutest bags. Her patterns are easy and clear.
I love the way you used your selvages. Great market bag.
Super cute! I love how you made your own fabric with the selvages. It is such a fun look.
