Jennifer Paganelli sent me a bit of her "Honey Child" fabric..
and the green lattice work is a laminate ... oh la la!!
It's soft, it's yummy, and it's mine,
ALL MINE!
So what does one do with yummy fabric?
Make a BAG of course!
After interviewing Monica Solorio-Snow on Monday (CLICK HERE)
I decided to use her bag pattern (CLICK HERE)
It turned out CUTE eh?
And what's peeking out the top?
Marie Bostwicks' NEW BOOK!

Oh... you might win the book, but not the bag

sorry about that

you would not BELIEVE what people make with it!
I concentrated on kids projects.. as I bet you have cardboard
and maybe a few kids laying around the house.
Or is it you have kids.. and some cardboard laying around the house
when I was a kid those were interchangable
how about it? Bag or Cardboard? Let me know!
Cardboard? A staple of my kids' growing up years! Their favorite was boxes.....decorate them as planes and trains, and build them into forts, and, and, ahhhhh, good memories!

Thanks. I had downloaded the Pick-A-Pocket Purse pattern.
Will make it for myself :D

Cardboard is so versitale. It can be used to make book covers, just cover it with fabric or paper. It can be used to build a castle, or as insulation. It can also be used to make a loom to weave with yarn.
Personally though I pick the bag.

Love the bag Pat! Might need that pattern for project I'm planning.
Cardboard boxes help kids use their imagination! Cats love em too.

There is also a product that you can use to laminate your own favorite fabric. Love that bag.
I really want a huge cardboard box now.:)

Ooh, love the new bag! I need some laminate...
And Debbie is SO RIGHT about the rare and wonderful refrigerator box. I remember having both my own apartment and a corvette, all cardboard and magic markers.

Love the cardboard. We used to play paintstore (our grandfather was a house painter). Oh boy if you could score a refrigerator box. They made great houses and forts. We also had some big cardboard blocks that the grandkids still play with.

It's been out for a while in quilt land.. the LIzzie B girls did an umbrella for their booth that was so cool!

Gotta love Jennifer, she is the sweetest! She also gave me some of the laminate. My plan is to make some market bags and be the most stylish at the grocery store. Did you know, Jennifer says that you can throw the laminate in the washer? Just don't throw it in the dryer.

Laminate fabric!!?!? Do tell more. I must seriously be out of the sewing loop if I haven't heard of this yet.
