I love the color combo - I want to name it the raspberry limeade bag! This is from Patty Young's new Flora and Fauna line. I love a good border print. I also took a couple pics of her wearing it so you can get an idea of how big it is, and that it can be worn messenger-style.
The next two were finished up last Saturday morning. I was on a roll with my assembly line finish from last Friday and wanted to get them done.
This one is for Vanessa (from when we went shopping together).
I love this Nicey Jane fabric (Heather Bailey). I can't believe how nice the drape is! Definitely garment worthy. I want to make some skirts and dresses now.
The last one is for my neighbor - she's gifting it to a friend who is having a baby in March.
Erin McMorris, Park Slope. This is a really fun mod print! I love the green and hot pink with the navy and turquoise. I've had this for a while and wasn't sure who I was going to make it for. I'm glad Ellen picked it!
This interior print is one of my favorites! I have it in orange too. It reminds my of another favorite circular floral, Henna Garden from Sandi Henderson's Farmer's Market.
So there you go. I do have some more bags I want to make, including a new one for myself. But I'll spare you from looking at more bags for a few weeks. I do have some UFO's to work on....
What have you finished this week?
I will leave the linky up until tomorrow morning. Can't wait to see what you have been working on!
1. Link to your specific post about a sewing related finish you had THIS week. (email me if you have questions about that.)
2. Please mention us here and link back to this post so everyone can join in. (You can mention Sew & Tell in your post and have the button on your sidebar or blog, that works too. )
3. Pat each other on the backs in the comments!

Your bags are always fun to see! Really gorgeous fabrics. I can always see these in bags but rarely give them up for bags :) I may spend too much time saving my fabrics instead of using them. hmmm--you've got me thinking now.
That Nicey Jane one makes me so happy. Every time I see that fabric I stop and try to come up with SOME reason I need it. Beautiful work, as usual. (A circle skirt in that fabric! Don't you think?! And a yellow sweater. Get on that, would you? I can't wear yellow.)
Makes what I had for breakfast look so blah! I love the fresh, happy look of the bags and the fabrics!
Awesome job Amy! Thanks for hosting Friday Finishes!
Love your bags!!! Nice to know about the Nicey Jane. I have been thinking about making a summer blouse using a sew mama sew tutorial, but I hadn't seen the fabric in person. Now I feel much better about purchasing it!
Blessings,
KT
they turned out awesome. so productive of you. i will try to get something done to share. it has been one of those disorganized mania weeks for me.
Love those! Your bags are so beautiful and I love the Nicey Jane fabric! I have a jelly roll that I am trying to decide what to do with.
But you make such lovely bags! Love the style and the fabrics you use are so yummy too.
so very cute, I love the dark blue/turquoise one. I also happened upon your nursery reveal for your friend back in July - SO CUTE!!! Thx again for hosting S&T :)
I love your bags! Now that is a sew & tell! I hope mine qualifies for the sew & tell! There is a lot of telling, and a little sewing (embroidery) on my posts. Let me know if it doesn't qualify!! Have a great weekend.
Very nice bags! I love all the fabrics!
Amy, never apologize for showing your gorgeous bags! These three are great. I especially love the last fabric you showcased - the Erin McMorris Park Slope. I haven't seen that. Gorgeous!
I LOVE the limeade color of that bag! And also that stitching she did - awesome! And that park sope fabric - OMG it's FABULOUS!
I love the pink and green. Beautiful fabrics. The aqua and green is fresh and fun. And the dark with bright is great. It is one of my favorite color combos.
I love all your bags. I saw that you said something about it was your pattern... It is listed somewhere?
Thanks
They are all so cute.
Great bags! Love the way you put your fabrics together.
Love that nicey jane bag.... I just bought a cardigan in that same light blue color. I think Easter skirts are in order (since you mention it is garment worthy) Love me some good circular florals! (I need to find that Erin McM. in orange, you know, in case I need it.)
I absolutely LOVE that border fabric and how you've used it in a bag. I must keep that one in the back of my mind. It's getting crowded back there!
LOVE the bags! It's cold and windy here and those bags looking so springy ... just what we need!
CUTE bags!! What pattern are you using?? I have got to try a zippered pocket...soon.
Beautiful bags and wonderful fabric combos!
Nice bags! I really wanted to participate this week but my quilt blocks are all sitting in a stack and I haven't gotten around to them yet. All I did sewing wise this week was make a soaker for a cloth diaper!
I love seeing your bags. That's what really got me hooked on blog stalking you. :)
Great totes!! I love your fabric choices!!
Awesome bags! I love the one for Ellen! The fabric is great!
Those bags are gorgeous. I love the Nicey Jane range. I still haven't stopped drooling over it. Lucky I have me some and am planning to make a Thimbleblossom quilt with it.
The bags look great! I'm not even sure which one I like best - maybe the Erin McMorris bag? But I agree that the Flora and Fauna border print looks awesome, and of COURSE I love Nicey Jane! Congrats on three great finishes, and have a great weekend!
Cute bags! Love that Park Slope fabric. And I'm so excited I get to share some finishes this week! :)
Everytime I think I have bought enough of Nicy Nice I see a new project, like your adorable bag, and then think I might need to buy more! Thanks for the fun chat today!
I love your tote bags, so pretty!! I LOVE the Flora and Fauna fabric!
Oh Drats! We lost power in my neck of the woods and I wasn't able to get it until just now and the link expired. Maybe I can save my finishes for next week, hehe. I love all of the purses. I am glad you showed them on a model because I never knew they were that big!
Goodness - you sew fast! They are all beautiful and each one is so different!
These bags are so cute. I love the Nicey Jane one esp. I've been eyeing that same fabric. I think I'm going to have to make a matching bag. So cute!
I never tire of seeing your bags. You do such lovely work. Vanessa's bag looks like her. :o) She is a lucky girl to receive it. :o)
Sincerely ~ Tricia
Oops ... adding mine a bit late :)
I love the new Heather Bailey fabric!

Since the bag resides on Raspberry Ln it is totally fitting to name my bag "Raspberry Lemonade"! Thanks so much for your help on it I love it.
Really cute color combinations!
ahhhhh! i love my bag!!!!! :)
