The Tammy Bag Blog Hop
Thanks to Madam Samm for generously providing an awesome "to go" project bag pattern she has named the Tammy...if you want your own copy of the pattern, you can find it here.
I chose a Premier Fabrics dandelion print, because at the time I made this, that was about the only thing blooming in my yard and it seemed a good choice...you can see one of the culprits next to the bag...lol!
Here is the back...
Here is the front...
And this is the inside of my Tammy bag! I have made very few bags and this one came together very easily courtesy of good instructions :) The only difficulty I had was getting the fabric to nest into the frame channel because I used a home dec weight fabric as well as a fusible Pellon fleece...a whole lotta layers to get into a small space...it turned right side out pretty easily though and I like the feel of the bag itself...lots of pockets to fill and it has a great finished look about it. I will travel with style as I carry my notions :) Thanks so much Madam Samm for a wonderful project!
And, for those with inquiring minds here is what I've been carrying about in my bag...
Jane's hexie templates, 12 wt. Aurifil thread for embroidery, marking pencil, scissors, needles, fabric, clips, and a tiny pin cushion. I am working on a few things at once...my usual way of doing things.
And now, there are a few more posies in the yard...(guess I should make another Tammy)

Your bag is delightful. The more I see, the more I want to make one. What a pretty yard you must have. Such lovely flowers.
I love your Tammy bag - great fabric choices!

Your bag is simply beautiful.Thanks for sharing!
Are you kidding me....this fabric is beautiful....YOUR tammy bag is a hit...like a dandelion it will just spread across the world with ohhh and ahhhhhs lovely Kris...
Since I am a yellow person I simply love this bag...and I love the lining also. You did a wonderful job. Great fun to see it....
As usual Kris you have come up with something beautiful! Just so you know this bag would go perfectly in my yellow bedroom. Just sayin'. :) blessings, marlene
Your bag is beautiful -- love the dandelion fabric!
great projects...I love the yellow
I just love this bright, happy bag! Dandelions are beautiful! congrats on being chosen today!
I love the "dent de lion" to go along with the French purse. What could be more fitting? A French fleur with a French purse!! As a child, I picked dandelions from the yard and took them to my mom. She had a small vase that she put them in and proudly displayed them as if they were roses from the rose bush. The purse is bright and cheery and I love the wordy print with it. It is perfect. Yellow is one of my favorite colors and seeing how you made it look so perfect in the bag, I know why!
Love, love, love the yellow. It totally changes the look of the bag!
Love the text print with the yellow!
I love both fabrics you used in the bag! Great job.
Gives the special summer feeling. Cute bag!!
and nice pictures. :-)
Pretty flowers but even prettier Tammy bag. I love the yellow dandelion print you used the interior piece accents it quite nicely. Well done, Kris.
Our yard would be a clover patch this year. I don't think the dandelions are standing a chance with THAT invasion! Mowing just seems to make more.
Kris your fabric choices are great I love the exterior and lining fabric. Those threads inside are yummy colors too. My grandson thinks dandelions are beautiful flowers too and loves to pick them to give to me. They are pretty flowers at that.
I love the beautiful bag and the fabric is fabulous with it. Nice work.
Kris, i love the dandelion fabric
I'll have to add it to my " shopping " list..LOL
How beautiful! I love the fabrics you used! How fun to open it up and see the text!!
summer fabric choice thanks for sharing
I love it!!! Absolutley love it! Maybe because I, like you can grow one heck of a dandelion! LOL... Really though, that fabric is just too cute, and the lining is perfect!
Love your bag! Dandelion wishes, summer dreams...Thanks for sharing. :)
Kris...your Tammy bag is beautiful...luv the yellow and the grey print on the inside...great fabric choices. Thanks for participating and inspiring us today!! Happy stitching, Pauline

Love your tammy bag. I had seen that fabric and loved it but didn't know what to use it for. Now I know. It makes such a cute bag.

I just love those little Tammy bags. It is so great to see everyone's creations! I have to say that the yellow fabric is so cute! I hope you plan to make more....they are addicting!
Too bad dandelions are considered weeds because it looks so nice sitting next to your gorgeous yellow bag! Oooo, and the hexies inside are so cool. :O)
Love the bag!
The dandelion fabric is beautiful!
Very very gorgeous...
but then of course I would say that - dandelions are my thang!
Drooling over the whole package xxxx

I loved all the Tammy bags. From make up, sewing, Dorothy, all are absolutely beautiful and creative each in their own right. I'm new at this blog hopping business and failed to see where to comment the other posts. Would like to be in the drawing. Dorothy going down the yellow brick road was too cute!
What a terrific purse. Your work is excellent.

Great fabric, great bag, this is such a fund hop.
The tammy bag must be generous in size to hold all those Aurifil threads and then some....I like your fabric choice, and the lining.
Just lovely bags, great fabric choices as well. Thanks for sharing.
