A Silly Sardine Baguette Bag
I did not follow any specific pattern for this, it was just a silly scrappy project I did on a whim after seeing a video online. I more or less followed this video but drafted the pattern of the fish for myself. I had just finished sewing my mom a bag and had leftover scraps from her project as well as a few of my own so I decided to mail her a bonus bag. All of the fabric is either linen, cotton, rayon or a blend of them. For the eyes I did a raw edge appliqué using HeatnBond and stitching it down with just a straight stitch. I got the eyes perfectly round by tracing a large washer for the outer part and a metal pog slammer for the inner part. My partner suggested I add the strap (made of cotton webbing) so it can be slung over a shoulder for easy transport. It was a really fun palette cleanser after a sewing slump and I had fun making it! It was pretty low stakes since it was all cut from scraps and I was only making it to be a goofy gift for my mom.
