I have to say "it is about time" that I start posting some of my projects. Everyone here does some amazing work and I am so envious on most of what I am seeing. Anyway, here is a rag purse I did, first one I ever tried. I am almost done with a blue dog one. The cat and dog purses are made out of flannel. Next one I'm doing will be a chicken theme on cotton for my MIL.


Thank you everyone for sharing your projects! They are truly amazing.

Thank you so much for the wonderful comments. But I have to be honest here and not take all the credit. I found this on youtube - I found a video on how to make a "rag purse with a big shot" - showed hubby the "big shot" and he threw his credit card at me and let me get it. (great hubby) But I just couldn't wait to try the purse so that is done without the big shot - I am going to be working on a chicken one soon, in fact I just cut out all the material for it using the big shot! Love that little machine! :) If you want to check it out just type in "rag purse" then it will give you a list - click on the one "how to make a rag purse with the big shot (chicnscratch - I think thats how you spell it. I love all her videos. She is giving me some marvelous ideas. :) Again - Thank You!
Hugs! ~Sherry~

I have never tried this technique and this is cute - but I have never made a bag either - guess I still have a lot to learn. Good job.

Congrats on your cat purse, a lovely and colourful way to use favorite scraps! I have seen quilts, but never a bag done this way, thanks for showing.
