I received some great fabric from @Magpie in a recent swap and knew right away I’d use some of it for my oldest grand daughter.
We were talking on FaceTime last week while she played with her new Calico Critters she’d just received for her 5th birthday and I offered to make a zippered bag for the tiny, tiny pieces, gave her a choice of fabrics and she picked this one.
I called her today to show her the bag and her face glowed with excitement when she saw it. Because we are going on holidays this week, I’m mailing it so she won’t have to wait a couple weeks until we visit again, that caused even more excitement to be getting mail.
They are fully lined and it’s the easiest bag I’ve ever made, sure wish I’d known this method years ago. The main fabric and lining are joined with fusible interfacing so it feels like you are using just one fabric.
