I'm going to hurry through this post today, it is Independence Day weekend here in the U.S. and I want to hang out with family, I think.
The Teardrop bag was quite easy to make, I recommend you all try it if you have the book, it is very roomy inside as well. May I also suggest saving your scraps to make next month's bag.
Here's my bag, I made the large one:
My photographer modeled the second side for me:
Highlights:
Soul_Sister's bag is rocking! I love that fabric, I don't see enough fabric with black on it.
This bag by weiswoman is just pretty, it looks perfectly sewn, too!
This looks like a special bag for that little bag carrier in your life!
Congratulations on making your bag, everyone! We are done with 6 months already! Can you believe it?
For June, The Style Stitches Monthly Bag Challenge 2011 sponsors are:
Above All Fabric, who is awarding a $25 gift certificate! Melanie is having a big sale right now!
Fat Quarter Shop, who is awarding a $50 gift certificate! There's always some quilting going on at their blog!
Now, let's announce the 2 winners for this month's challenge.
I used Random Number Generator to select the winners...
And Freaknoodles!
Congratulations, ladies!
Now, you must SEND ME AN E-MAIL TO CLAIM YOUR GIFT CERTIFICATE. The first person who sends me a message gets to pick first, the second person gets the alternative gift certificate. You can reply to this post if you like, but you must send me a separate e-mail to claim your prize.
My address is jemelliahilfiger AT yahoo.com. I suggest copying and pasting it to get it correct.
If you have not e-mailed me within 7 days, I will draw for another winner.
Congrats to everyone who made a bag for the challenge, told someone about the challenge, or both!
A very big thank you to our June sponsors!
Fat Quarter Shop and Above All Fabric!

This bag is so beautiful Jemellia! It is even more goregous in person! That fabric you chose is smokin' hot!
(I now recall we were supposed to take a pic of this the other night! BTW, thanks for going with me...it was fun!)

Jem,

Hugs,
