Chicken Make-up Bags

Hi! Here are a couple of make-up bags a lovely friend asked me to make. It's scarier when you are asked to make something specific - what if they don't like it? What if it turns up and they are disappointed!? What if they look critically at all the wonky stitching??? :-s

But anyway, here they are. I love this fabric!

This is based on a free pattern, the Flat bottom straight(ish) sides zippy pouch, from Very Berry Handmade, although I do the zip tabs a little bit differently.

Koda Bags, and Matching Things

Hiya! I made four Koda bags for friends - I love this pattern! I chose the fabric specifically for each person - Chickens for hazel, who has two chickens (Henrietta and Talula), Unicorns for Sanj, who currently has a unicorn obsession, Tigers for Rashmi, it's her favourite animal, and Penguins for Linda, partly because she likes them, but mainly because she pronounces them 'pengwings', which I will never get bored of!

I used Chicago screws to fix the straps, as the denim was too thick to sew - first time I have used them, but now I am hooked!

I got carried away, and made matching makeup bags:

And then I got carried away a bit more, and made matching keyrings and mirrors:
