I completed my 13 bags, and was happy with my results. Did I take pics of all of them? NO! I was too busy trying to get them, the girl, and the stuff in the car and down to the event. And, evidently, my brain fell out or something. I really thought I took a picture or two after this one, when more bags were done.

I was very happy with the variety I got from a limited amount of fabrics, and trims, buttons etc that I found in my stash. No two bags were exactly alike. I had 10 envelope bags with shoulder straps, some were flat and others had boxed bottoms. I also made 3 drawstring bags. I tried to make some that were gender neutral (at least) so that they would be easier to gift as prizes or thanks. All the bags were lined.
The bags were part of an Arts and Sciences competition, which I didn't win, and honestly, that wasn't the point of making them. They were also part of a silent auction, and whomever put in the highest bid got to pick their favorite of the bunch. Someone bid and got to choose, and I wish I knew which bag they picked, but it is OK that I don't know, too. That wasn't the point either.
There were quite a few other bags given as prizes, so I think I need to branch out some, and figure out something else to make for next time!
