I posted last week about my next sewing project, which will be a crazy-quilted gift bag using the silk and velvet fabrics I showed you. To begin this I took apart a plain canvas tote bag by the side seams so that it can serve as my foundation.
I then added a layer of batting on the top (I use scraps from other projects for this) and arrange and baste down the fabrics atop the batting. I sometimes use my sewing machine for putting the fabrics in place, but since I'm working with some very delicate silk pieces I did the basting by hand.
I have yet to make a full size crazy quilt, which I've always wanted to do. I don't have the confidence yet to try, but little projects like this bag give me a chance to practice.
