ATTENTION Bag Ladies

I mentioned last week about a bag of the month club.  After a chitty chat with boss lady we have come to an announcement.  LET THE BAG MAKING BEGIN!!!

Here is the scoop.  The response has been awesome.  But lots of it has come from our online friends.  So with that we have decided to make this an online group with meetings quarterly, not really meetings but more like chat fest.

We will still choose to make a bag each month, but instead of meeting up to show our creations you will email a picture of them to me and we will post them online.  We will set a deadline for pictures to be in by and the post of pictures will be up that day.  Also the next pattern will be announced in that same post.

This is where I need your guys opinion.  Would you prefer a blog page to post pictures or a facebook page?  Leave a comment or shoot an email to the address below to let me know.

*** first bag is a free download from timeless treasures web site. It is a tote, ipad case and nook/kindle case.  here is you link  http://www.ttfabrics.com/patterns/downloads/London%20Layout.pdf
Pictures are due to me by October 15th.  The email to send them to is mgbaglady@hotmail.com.

For all you readers who have wanted to make bags but are nervous.  Don't be.  This is a perfect beginner bag.  You can send any questions to the above email or contact the shop and any of the girls there can you help you out as well.

bag of the month

Hi there, this is Chriss.  If you dont know me I am the bag lady from Material Girls.  If there is a bag pattern out there I MUST have it.  You have probably seen me in the shop, I have a little boy that the girls haul around (without much opposition from his mom)  I was feeling a little left out cause I am not a quilter. I prefer "3D projects".  So with the boss lady's blessing I am throwing together a monthly group.

Here is the basis

- We will make a bag each month.  The pattern will be the same for all but the fabric is your choice.

-When we meet the following month bring your bag and let the fun and idea swapping being. We will then announce the new pattern.

-Discount will be given on the chosen bag pattern to those in the group.

-At some of the monthly meetings we will have demos.

We will keep you posted about start up day, time and pattern.

Get your magnetic snaps and interfacing ready!!!
