Bags of fun!

This weeks challenge at
Crafting When We Can
is
"CHRISTMAS"
*yaaaaaayyyyyy nearly here!*
Instead of another card I decided to make a gift bag.
Our sponsor this week is the lovely 
Sasayaki Glitter
 who gave me permission to use her image
 as a paper pattern.
I printed out the image the size I wanted for the bag front...
 traced the main "snowman" shape onto felt using carbon copy paper...
 then cut out the other main shapes to draw around.
 I kept the main pattern paper together to help
place the fabric pieces as accurately as possible,
and used fabric glue to attach  the fabric shapes.
 Keeping the main pieces meant I could see if everything 
stayed true to the original image.
 Then I just used a basic running stitch to add details and secure the pieces.

 I was really quite pleased with the overall effect
*though I did unpick the scarf and move it across slightly lol*
 The addition of a snowy mound makes him look a bit more stable :D
 though I should probably have ironed the bag before I started :D

    Cute, cute, cute! Really enjoyed the pictures of your process, too, thanks. As for the wrinkly bag, I think the texture gives a nice effect! Thank you for sharing at SOS this week.

    I think the wrinkles make the bag look even cuter!

    What a lovely bag did you make by decorating it with this lovely snowman. However to play along with the challenge at Addicted To Stamps Challengeblog you MUST use at least ONE STAMP so we can't let this creation play with the challenge. So sorry.
