Charm Madness Project


Did you follow the Charm Madness Blog Hop?  I sure did - I love pre-cuts for a quick project and there were certainly lots of wonderful projects shared over the three weeks.

I have a box of left over charms from prior projects - and I tend to pull a charm pack or two (or 3) apart to just use parts.  So I used a few of them up with the the Grocery Bag Dispenser tutorial by Rachel of PS i Quilt on the ModaBakeShop site.  These go together so quickly!


I added a decor with ribbon and wooded letter beads with name to personalize.  And I changed the way the hanging tab was applied.  Rather than set it into the seam, I attached it to the outside of the bag with an X crossbar stitching and then covered that with a large button.  A quick project for a housewarming or Christmas gift.

Thank you Chris and Linda for hosting this inspirational and fun blog hop.  Please visit Sewlux HERE to see the other projects completed during the hop.

Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

That's a good idea to store plastic trash bags. How do people think of these things! I enjoyed the link. Somehow I missed that blog hop. Good charm pack ideas.
