Li’l Knot Bags by Richele Christensen featuring Tim Holtz Palette Fabric!
Hi friend! Please join me in welcoming back special guest Richele Christensen and we’re highlighting the GORGEOUS purple fabric released just last month from Tim Holtz Ecclectic Elements collection! The pattern Richele used can be found HERE if you’d like to give this a go! Read on and enjoy!
Hello friends! Today I’m sharing these fun Li’l Knot Bags using the Palette Multi fabric by Tim Holtz. I love how the fabrics go through the colors of the rainbow so when I used the ticket fabrics each side of the bag is a different color family with no extra effort. Bonus right? I also used the Palette Multi Ephemera with its beautiful vintage vibe with all the best ephemera pieces. I watched this video for the construction of the bags and they went together fast and easy.
Pin the pattern piece to your fabric.
Cut out the pattern pieces don’t forget to cut the notches. I used my Tim Holtz 9.5” Shears by Tonic. They work perfect for cutting the curves of this pattern.
Sew with right sides together (one lining and one outside each) sew the top handle portion from the notch up and the middle section using 1/4” seam allowance.
Turn both sections right side out and press the edges well.
Now turn one of the sections wrong side out and you will fit the other piece inside this one. They will be right sides together. Be sure to line up the handle seam.
Sew the handle with a 1/4” seam allowance.
Turn right side out and topstitch around the handle 1/8” from the edges.
Assemble bag now by placing the lining material right sides together and the outside right sides together. Pin and sew together with a 1/4” seam allowance. Leave a 4” opening at the bottom of the lining.
Turn by pulling through the hole in the bottom you left in the previous step. Sew the bottom opening closed. Stitch close to the edge. And enjoy!
How cute are these bags. They could be used to carry things, wrap up a special gift and even a purse.
What would you use the Li’l Knot bag for? Thanks for stopping by and happy sewing! -Richele

Have Yourself a FOXY little Christmas…
Hi friend! Happy Sunday! I’m delighted to welcome back special guest Chari Moss to our blog with this darling holiday project featuring new and adorable projects from Lawn Fawn! Read on and enjoy!
Hello Crafty Friends! Today I have a cute Christmas card featuring lots of fun die cuts! Build-A-Fox is the newest in the Build-A-Critter series, and he also has some really adorable Build-A-Critter Christmas Accessories. I love that this cute fox and be dressed up for all occasions! Much like paper dolls, once Build-A-Fox is assembled, you get to play dress up! I added a traditional Santa hat to my little fox to make him merry. It goes perfectly with the sentiment, don’t you think? The Giant Be Merry sentiment die is perfect for quick Christmas card with a big bold statement.
Behind my cute fox, I added the Doily: Hearts cut from pink Spiffy Speckles paper for a perfect focal point, and then I used the new All The Sparkles paper collection for the background. I just love the shine the gold foil creates, it’s perfect for the holidays!
If foxes aren’t your thing, Build-A-Bunny works with all of the Build-A-Critter Christmas Accessories too! Or make both, two critter friends are always better than one! I hope this has inspired you to create some holiday cards this season!
