These are just lovely, you did a great job. It is possible for you to give us the pattern or let us know which one you used.

Love your bags. I have some remnants I have been saving but they're small samples and I don't have enough of any one to make a bag, however I like the way you combined fabrics to make your bags even more interesting. Thanks for motivating me to add an upholstery bag to my to-do list for 2011. Did you use a pattern or make up your own? Any chance you'd consider doing a tute? You did a beautiful job.

Due to illness my sister just closed her upholstery shop. I guess I need to go visit the shop while I'm visiting her.

I assume these were made from the Bowtucks pattern?

No this is not the Bowtucks Pattern. There are many requests for the pattern I used ..... and I will have to pull it out and see about scanning it into the computer .... then I can share it with others. The pattern itself is really pretty easy to put together.

Love your bag! The fabric really makes that bag. Love to see the pattern.

Did you use any lining or batting?

With you having such a supply .... thought maybe you would like to some close-up pictures the other bags.

Thought I'd share some more ideas that I have done with Upholstery Samples. Our Pastor at church asked my husband if he would design and build him a Kneeling Bench for the church. He made the Kneeler ..... and I upholstered the padded kneeling area, using Upholstery Samples.
