IKEA fabrics, yay!

So, the fabric selection at IKEA just keeps getting better and better, and before I go and buy some of EVERY SINGLE ONE of the new prints that are rocking my world, I figured I should use up some of what I already had...
Do you think this counts as a hack?

I needle felted little colorful warts onto the canvas and then sewed it up into a messenger bag

You sewed that yourself?!

That's one eye catching messenger bag, Nice Job!

I've got a 5 year old who would like to talk to you about a dress...

Re: IKEA fabrics, yay!

ya know, five was about the age that I really started to cultivate the sewing skill and it's been serving me well (and pleasantly) ever since. Send her over! I'll have her whipping out her own dresses in no time!
Thinking of all the cool kid stuff one could make from IKEA fabrics...sWWOON!

Re: IKEA fabrics, yay!

splatgirl - I'll send Elizabeth along with Kelly for drinks and sewing lessons. Last week it was tea with the Knitty Committee and Grandma in Virginia Beach, next week it's cocktails and IKEA hacking with the girls in Minnesota!

Those are really cool bags splat.

Heh... Susan's not the one that needs the dresses! Elizabeth changes her outfits as much as 4-5 times a day on a busy day. And she *always* wears dresses! She's a total clotheshorse, and she's only five ::holding face in hands::
