My talented friend Haydee who lives\u00c2\u00a0in Puerto Rico just sent these photos of wonderful bags.\u00c2\u00a0 Though you would never know it by looking at her finished projects, Haydee is relatively new to sewing and\u00c2\u00a0 takes many classes.\u00c2\u00a0 Apparently, these bags\u00c2\u00a0were made in\u00c2\u00a0one of the\u00c2\u00a0sewing classes in which she was enrolled.<\/p>\n

I’m not exactly sure what her message was, as my she speaks no English an my entire Spanish vocabulary consists of “hello”, \u00c2\u00a0“good bye” and “Where is the bathroom?”\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0But I THINK these are baby diaper bags and she is encouraging her friends to sign up for a subsequent heirloom sewing class.<\/p>\n

Haydee’s\u00c2\u00a0note is posted below\u00c2\u00a0in the hope that a Spanish speaking reader can translate for me.<\/p>\n

“Hola chicas: les incluyo fotos de la clase de bulto de bebe, o de costura, todas escogieron una variedad de combinaciones para sus proyectos y les quedaron espectaculares.<\/em><\/p>\n


\nLa clase se esta ofreciendo en Heirloom, los jueves llama y reserva tu espacio.”<\/em><\/p>\n

When I taught in Puerto Rico, I was taken by the people’s robust sense of humor, their friendliness and willingness to help one another.\u00c2\u00a0 I\u00c2\u00a0wonder if Haydee is\u00c2\u00a0 teaching some of the classes whose project photos have been sent to me.<\/p>\n

The Loralie fabric bag is probably not a diaper bag, but rather a handy bag for any number of purposes.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The bow is a nice\u00c2\u00a0 touch, certainly in keeping with the style of the fabric design.<\/p>\n

Haydee and her friends, dubbed “The Posse” by June Mellinger, were all very fond of Loralie designs.\u00c2\u00a0The four of them came to class wearing specially made vests with Loralie Sew Fabulous designs embroidered front and back.\u00c2\u00a0 So it is not surprising that one of them selected this fabric for her bag.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All the fabric combinations are so bright and well\u00c2\u00a0coordinated.\u00c2\u00a0 Each bag has three carefully chosen fabrics.\u00c2\u00a0 This jungle print bag just makes me smile.\u00c2\u00a0 It looks like great care was taken to place the animals just above the leaf print.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"pinkgingham\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pink gingham is a perfect feminine print for a little girl.\u00c2\u00a0 I suspect this bag will hold diapers, bonnets and booties for a precious baby daughter.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"brownblue\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Like the Loralie bag,\u00c2\u00a0this last\u00c2\u00a0one looks like it has an adult purpose.\u00c2\u00a0 Again, the tasteful choice of fabrics is very pleasing.<\/p>\n

All five bags appear to be\u00c2\u00a0very well made.\u00c2\u00a0 The fine finished look is a credit to the teacher as well as the seamstress.<\/p>\n

Thanks, Haydee, for sharing these inspiring photos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
