Rifle Paper Floral Canvas Basket Bags

5.11.19 Update: If you pre-ordered this bag, your bag will ship on Monday the 13th.  There are also two more bags available here and some scraps of this fabric are available here.

Last week one yard of floral canvas fabric by Rifle Paper Co. for Cotton + Steel arrived in my mailbox, and wow, was it gorgeous!  I say "was" because I made three bags from it over the weekend and the two available for sale sold.

Now I'm out of this fabric, but don't feel done making these beautiful little storage bags! So I'm offering a pre-order on these Basket Bags and here's how it works: Pre-order is closed.

• Pre-order is through this Wednesday (5/1/19), but could end earlier depending on the number of orders and fabric availability.  Then these bags won't be unavailable for purchase for a while (or maybe forever if I don't have any extra fabric to make more). 
• If you order this bag with another shipped item, this bag will ship separately. The other item(s) will ship right away. 
• I'm aiming to have these in the mail by 5/15/19, if not earlier.  I like to get orders filled ASAP, so once the fabric is here, I'll get right to work making the bags.  Of course, if there is some delay, anyone who has ordered a bag will get an update by email.

Sale Fabric on Etsy

Vintage Rose from Little Snippets by Bonnie and Camille for Moda

This post contains affiliate links.

Etsy is always my first stop when I'm browsing fabric online for a few reasons--I'm an etsy affiliate, etsy has been a great sales venue for me, and there's just tons and tons of fabric!

On almost a daily basis, I spend some time looking at what's available and pinning some to my Quilting Cotton Pinterest board. 

Daysail Blooms by Bonnie and Camille for Moda

Of course, I also buy some of it now and then (and sometimes at places other than etsy), but there's definitely more looking than buying since my fabric budget only goes so far.

Birds on Branches from Daybreak by August Wren for Dear Stella

Which, of course, means I'm always on the look out for a good deal!  So here are a few fabrics I've been eyeing this week and are on sale as of today. I don't know when the prices will change, but they most certainly will, or the fabric will sell out.  So don't dilly dally if you see something you simply must have! 

Pom Pom Flowers from Pond Life by Dear Stella

It's also worth a look around these shops because these aren't the only prints on sale. 

Aqua Cats from Suzy's Minis by Suzy Ultman for Robert Kaufman

Japanese Craft Book by Takemi Takemura

Once before I almost sold this book, but changed my mind because I wasn't quite done being inspired by all these wonderful quilted flowers! But the time has come for it to find its next home and is available for purchase here. 

There are 27 projects for different items and most feature these dimensional flowers with Sashiko or hand quilting style stitching. 

All instructions are in Japanese, but are pretty straight forward. 

And as a side note, I was downtown a few days ago and saw that Kinokuniya is opening a book store downtown!  For any Portlander on the east side who loves their book store (they have lots of these Japanese craft books) and stationery, this is fantastic news.  I've been to Kinokuniya a few times, but since it's in Beaverton, I'm rarely interested in making the drive to the other side of the city.   

Sample Sale - Denim Basket Bags (Sold)

Happy Thursday!  Today seems like a good day to show you these denim bags and also offer them as samples. 

Both of these are the same size, fabrics (denim and quilting cotton), and topstitching (red), but with different colorways of the lining fabric.  They are being offered individually, but if you'd like them both and both are still available, feel free to make them yours!  You'll just need to check out twice. One is sold out...thank you!  Sold out.

Strawberry Basket Bag

Oxford fabric, like this pink strawberry print, is one of my favorite fabrics for the Grocery Bags. After finishing making a large Grocery Bag from the one yard I purchased, some of what was left was put to use making this Basket Bag.

There was also more fabric left over and the remnants are posted for sale right here.  Yardage of this fabric can be found on here.

Quilt Binding

I finished up these rolls of quilt binding and took the photos and then two sold (thank you!) before I was finished writing the blog post.  But let's take a look at them anyway because we all like looking at fabric, and of the two that sold, I can make more of one of them.
