This week was busy with making a few bags for friends.
I've been so busy with projects for the
See You in September Blog Hop
that I was ready for a quick finish
and bags are always a great answer to that.
Madame Samm at Sew We Quilt featured a tutorial this week
that Joan from MooseStash Quilting made some time ago
and I just had to try her version of Snap Tape Bags.
AND
somehow, this ended up at my house. I needed to get rid of this tape measure...
(My son used to work for Home Depot)
Don't want you to think I'm a shoplifter or something...wink
It's just so fun to cut up tape measure and use it in a bag.
It's so crazy how well this works
and
guys love it.

Football season is sooo close and if you know me,
I'm always finding an excuse to use a little Kansas City Chiefs fabric.
I just love Joan's quilted version of the snap tape bags.
Once the tape measure had been unleashed on 3 bags
I decided to use it to make a few money bags for some of the girls I work with.
I needed a flatter bag for easy storage in a purse so I used the video below for inspiration.
They are the perfect size to hold cash and checks. Not like the bulky bank bags.
The bags needed a little bling, so I added the buttons.
My friend that has been waiting 2 years for one of these will be a happy little camper.

That's it for my quick finishes.
Time to get back to work on my blog hop projects.

I really need to make one of these since I've wanted to for YEARS and never have. Very cool bags!
Those are cute bags. I really need to make me some. I was lucky to be gifted 3 a couple of years ago and love them. Use them all the time. They're so handy! The girls you work with will love, love, love them. The bling makes them!
Your little snap bags are great! I've made a few in the last few years and they are so much fun! I love the idea of using football fabric!
Neat fabric! Those are almost habit forming. They go together so quickly and show off well. I'm going to try that pattern out. The pattern I use seems to have less steps and no bias tape to mess with.
