Mod Sew:: the feathered bag

IMG_1045

Can I just say I took these really quick to get a picture before sending them in the mail to their new owners. Okay got that. No picture judging? Okay cool.

I chatted with Susan Petersen of Freshly Picked Moccasins on the Modern Sewciety podcast. I wanted to send her a little something and it turned into something bigger. That is okay. She has been such a sweetheart to me and I wanted to thank her. SHE ACTUALLY SENT ME A THANK YOU for being on the podcast. YEA she is cool like that.

Freshly Picked if a company that sells leather baby moccasins. I know she needed leather on whatever I made for her. I ended up adding it to the handles. I thought she also needed a decorative featherish/chicken foot stitch 🙂

I added a cute little circle pocket inside. I loooooooove that pink cheetah print. It is actually from walmart but I love it so much I buy it all of the time.

I paper pieced a feather from Alison Glass’s feather pattern. I have to say I modified it and it was so tricky. You can see that is kinda a wonky arrow. Oh well. I love those circles in the BLUNT arrow… looks like an owl to me.

The bottom of the BLUNT feather. I quilted the outside of the bag with straight lines. I really didn’t want this bag to leave my house!!!!

And I am not a perfectionist when it comes to creating something. It is a creation so that blunt arrow is just something I had to laugh about. I didn’t know how to fix it and once I noticed it was really too late to fix it.
