Layer Cake Market Bag - Foodie Blog Hop

    Welcome to Creatin' in the Sticks
and
my day in the Foodie Blog Hop.

To all that are participating or visiting and commenting -

Thank you so much!

Yesterday was amazing!

I'm excited to share my Foodie project -

Layer Cake Market Bag.

You can't really make anything food without going to the market first unless, of course, you grow your own.  Even then this bag could be used.  

In this day and age, we are all a little more aware of our environment and the less trash the better.

I hate those little plastic bags at the store and would rather pick up my groceries with a reusable bag(s). This is the newest one of the many I've made.

Why not make it a fun, HUGE eclectic bag with lots of colors?

The fabric in this one is a 10" stack of "Punch" by Island Batik.

My layer cake market bag is perfect to carry a LOT!

I designed the bag to use one layer cake.

It's so fun to play with all those 10" squares.

It's my most requested bag pattern, but it's out of print.

So, I had planned to offer a new version of the pattern today.

Oh, life...

But, I'm working on the new version and should have it ready soon in my Etsy Shop.

Now check out the other bloggers posting Foodie ideas today:

Kids Four-Leaf Clover Bag

 I have a project full of luck to share today.

I'm over on the Thermoweb blog with a free pattern to craft a 

Four-Leaf Clover Bag.

The perfect size to fill with chocolate gold coins for the littles or anyone

to celebrate the day of green.

These Kids Rainbow Four-Leaf Clover Bags are like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow!

Here is what I used to make the bags:

Heat-n-Bond® – Craft Extra Firm Fusible Interfacing to keep the bag in perfect shape no matter how much weight is added and, of course, HeatnBond Lite Fusible Adhesive, my favorite fabric adhesive for applique.  Rainbow fabric strips, green lining, green polka dots for the four-leaf clover, and black fabric to make the rainbow fabrics sing.

Sending the luck of the Irish!

Crayon Drawstring Bag for a Certain Little Valentine

I have a fun project to share today.

I'm over on the Thermoweb blog with a free pattern to craft a 

Crayon Drawstring Bag.

My little granddaughter loves to color so I made her a little bag of coloring books and crayons.

 This drawstring bag is the perfect size for a couple of coloring books and all the crayons too. 

 HeatnBond Medium Weight Non-Woven Fusible Interfacing keeps the bag in shape and you can add HeatnBond Liquid Vinyl Gel Coating to the lining to prevent stains and make cleaning a breeze.  Of course, the pattern calls for HeatnBond EZ Print Lite to make the applique crayon tops so much easier.

Happy Stitching!

I became a little obsessed with making them.

I designed this pattern, Bluprint made a kit,

and then it

SOLD OUT
