Bag it

The timing on this couldn't have been better.  I made a bag for a friend that loves little bags. 
I made this the other day but the squirrel idea started a while back when she wanted a squirrel for a wall hanging she was doing.  I kept offering her patterns, but she would joke and say she wanted me to make it.  So for the last few months we joke back and forth, and I would say someday I would make her a squirrel.

Here's the inside lining. 

And since Elm Streets Quilts is having a "Bag it" link up.  It worked out really nice.  It was pretty easy to put together.  I did the applique first, then used fusible batting and quilted the outside front and back.  Then I layered with the lining and attached to the zipper and sewed around all pieces leaving a little opening in the lining.  I pulled it right sides out and hand sewed up the little opening in the lining and voila... A Squirrel Bag.  

Thanks for the link up and have a blessed day!
