My friends are always talking about (and buying) Vera Bradley's quilted bags and accessories. I can't quite afford them, so I did the next best thing...I created my own! I found two kits at Michael's on their clearance aisle that matched and brought them home. One was for a tote bag and one was for accessories for the tote. So Saturday I sat down and created a tote bag, wallet, cell phone case, purse organizer, and eye glass case. When I was finished, I had a bunch of extra fabric left over so I designed and created a cover for my Nook.

I don't remember the brand of the kits, but if you have a Michael's in your neighborhood, just peruse their fabric aisle and you will see them. They may not have this particular color set there any longer but they will probably have something you can use. I'll be sure to check the brand when I get home an add an addition to this post with the kit information.
Oh...one thing though! The kits I used were just black and white, but I thought that they needed a little splash of color so I hit my fabric stash and found the pink fabric to make the yo-yo flowers and added the purple buttons for the centers. The buttons were also bought at Michael's. The are multiple sizes and colors in the bag. You can find them in the sewing supplies aisle.
Well...time to get back to work. I'll check in later to post the brand of the kits (in case you want to look for them online) and with pictures of the other projects I've been working on.
Enjoy your day!
