| Folded Fat Quarter bags |
This summer the theme for my purse camp was squares and rectangles. I found a couple of patterns from Sew News magazine and one from a demonstration at a neighborhood ASG (American Sewing Guild) meeting that fit with my theme.

| Square Affair bags |
I had planned on making three purses in four days. Well the girls sewed much more quickly than I had anticipated so I had to get creative on the last day to make use of their leftover fabrics.

| Monogrammed accessory bags |
The first day they made the Folded Fat Quarter bag. We started with two coordinating fat quarters and cut 18" squares. Then they sewed them together and with some creative folding they had a cute drawstring bag with pockets on the inside.

| Norah's projects |
The following day they made the Square Affair. I cut the pieces for them but they did all the sewing. By the end of Tuesday's camp they had their second bag.

| Drawstring bags |
On Wednesday they did machine appliqué and sewed up an accessory bag with a zipper. On Thursday, our final day, they made some drawstring bags. They determined the size they wanted and then we worked the math together to figured out how big to cut the pieces. They even did bags with two fabrics so more math was needed. Hailey and Norah even did some more machine appliqué. We had a great time!
