It's In the Bag!

Last Saturday was the first Saturday in a long, LONG time that I didn't actually have something that NEEDED to be done.  And for a long, LONG time (since the making of my first bag), by daughter has wanted me to make her a bag featuring her all-time favorite actress, 

Audrey Hepburn.

So Saturday was the day to

"Get 'er done!"

I have never printed on fabric before, but have read from several blogs about different methods.  The method I chose is probably not the best method for something that could need to be washed in the future...but I think there is a way to set the image before washing.  I'll have to check my files again.  I used an 8x11 sheet of mailing labels, stuck the muslin on it, trimmed & ran it thru the printer ~ Easy Peasy!

And here we go:

 

After printing the picture onto white muslin, 

we added a small black floral border.

Then sewed the picture onto the front of the bag.

Whipped it all together and added straps & bows...

And...

WhaaLaa!

An Audrey Hepburn backpack bag!

Not bad for someone who doesn't sew much!

And it all started with a simple idea!

I'm linking up today with Tea Rose Home's

Link Party #46!

Check it out for some great inspiration!

Hugs!
