Fabric Friday - Rag Bag

Welcome to another Fabric Friday!  I've been wanting to do a rag bag for awhile.  Especially after seeing my friend Anji of Altered Scraps make her rag bags.  Anji and I had inspired each other to sew when I first started using my sewing machine.  It's been fun seeing what projects we come up with.

For this project, I pretty much followed the video instructions from Angie.  Here is the finished bag.
I made side pockets!  For the pocket, I just folded the top scallops down and sewed across.  The inner piece uses the same technique I shared with my last Fabric Friday, where you fold the piece of fabric on the Scallop Square Big Shot die, to create a rectangular piece, rather than square.
 I love this nice touch with the strap and button.
I didn't snip the edges of this bag, because I thought this actually looks kinda nice. :)  As soon as I started using this bag, I got 3 compliments within the first 2 hours.  Makes me very proud.  Go ahead, pick up some fabric and especially the Big Shot Scallop Square die (#115950) from MY STORE, and make this adorable bag!

I can see why you'd get compliments Annie. This bag is delightful. So feminine and fun. I like the button attachment. TFS.
