And I really like the first print and the first pattern. The second print isn't saying bag to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-fabric-bags-for-summer#post-652825 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 19:02:40 +0000 Amy 652825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have several fabric bags. I really like the design of the second one. Cute. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-fabric-bags-for-summer#post-652768 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 18:02:58 +0000 qfbrenda 652768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the hobo bag in the first link. That floral would be pretty with something on the reverse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-fabric-bags-for-summer#post-652741 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 17:11:03 +0000 Diana 652741@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a few fabric bags for summer and I enjoy using them. I prefer a slouchier hobo style (like the first pattern you linked) because I think it works better with the nature of the fabric. I think fabric bags also work well as messenger style crossbodies because they are soft and comfortable to wear across the back.</p> <p>It would work really well in Angie's earthy LBD formula too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-fabric-bags-for-summer#post-652706 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 15:53:57 +0000 Keix 652706@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like fabric bags for summer, and I would love to see one in that red/blue floral! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/diy-fabric-bags-for-summer#post-652700 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 15:20:49 +0000 Abie 652700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I mentioned wanting to try some more colorful bags. This is true, but I also need a more neutral summer bag because I don't feel my black one is working with all of my outfits right now. I'm thinking of going with a metallic, a lighter snakeskin, or a toupe suede. I think this is my best bet to spend money right now, which still leaves me itching to try color and bag swapping with outfis. I can't do that with no bags.</p> <p>I have a couple of prints that I think are good candidates for summer bags with my wardrobe. They are prints, and would mostly go with my solid color outfits which right now I'm having the most trouble styling.</p> <p>What do you think of the prints? Are fabric bags fashionable in the summer? I don't see a lot of them, and I don't want it to come off too crafty looking. </p> <p>Fabric #1 is a thrifted talbots skirt that is my size but petite. I could have traded it back for credit at the thrift store but I loved the fabric so much I decided it was worth it to keep. </p> <p>Fabric #2 Is a Flax brand Flax Linen long tunic that my mom gave me along with some other fabric she was passing along. It's too small as a tunic and not quite my style either. I do like that the colors are more muted but still bright. To me the stripe gives it a little menswear vibe. The colors are coral, purple, and berry. </p> <p>I'm not sure on a pattern yet. Here are a couple that have caught my eye but I need to look a lot more. </p> <p><a href="http://www.simplymodernmom.com/2011/01/reversible-hobo-bag-tutorial/" rel="nofollow">http://www.simplymodernmom.com.....-tutorial/</a></p> <p>Maybe something like this for the linen only bigger...<br /> <a href="http://www.made-by-rae.com/2009/02/free-buttercup-bag-sewing-pattern/" rel="nofollow">http://www.made-by-rae.com/200.....g-pattern/</a> </p>
