Fish make up bag for E
The only stipulation from my SIL was that she likes blue. So I started with the fish fabric from Fabric Freedom but then ended up adding a solid purple & variegated pink to compliment the fish.
My modification of reducing the width of the lining by 3/4" is definitely the right thing to do:
lining of fish make-up bag
As previously the pattern is 'Cosmetic bag' from Quilting in No Time
Then I made a matching purse as girls can never have too many bags or purses:
Fish purse
It is a neat little pattern and I thought the pocket would be good for a bus ticket. I added a line of top stitching just under the zip the same as one the make-up bag as I like to 'hold' the front in place and also a vintage Mother of Pearl button on the popper.
Pattern: Zippy Wallet by noodlehead
The lining has a different construction to that of the make up bag and I prefer it:
lining in zippy wallet
Both were well received and Mum has asked for the same for her birthday....

Wish I had a niece, would love to have a go at something like that!
Gorgeous!!! love both the make up bag and purse. The fabric is stunning but, familiar. Was I with you when you bought it? Your pressie is in the post hope you like it.

Oh those look great, am bookmarking for future reference!
I'm not suprised mum has asked for a set herself they are lovely, and so neatly made.
I just saw your comment on my blog about the tumbler quilt (Zanyquilter). I think I used 2.5 yards of fabric for the backing and 1/2 yard for the binding. I hope this helps. Sorry it is so late but the comment was held up in a weird part of Blogger (since the post was more than 2 weeks old). Good luck!
