Can it be?

Yes. Sadly, I am out of pink shuttles. I can't find a single undecorated pink shuttle in my house. So, I had to settle for purple...


...to make my new shuttle and bag sets!


What do you think? Is it overkill?

I had so much fun making bags with matching shuttles for Jane and Sue Anna, that I went back to Hobby Lobby for more pink and brown fabric. Wouldn't you know... the fabric I used before wasn't there, but I did find these two fabrics, and I'm very pleased with the results. I even figured out some improvements for making the bags, like measuring carefully! : )

I ask you, dear readers... can a tatter have too many project bags or too many pretty shuttles?

    Absolutly, not. We need every one...so many projects, so little time!

    I love chocolate and pink together...as well as blue and chocolate, really. And, I usually am not a huge fan of pink...LOL

    You lucky ducks getting together to talk tatting...sigh...there in spirit. hugs bev

    Overkill?
    In a word: NO!

    In more than one word: If chic females can have matching shoes/bags/accessories... why can't we tatters have matching shuttles/bags for ourselves!!?

    I love the idea, Crafty-Diane!

    lol

    Oh wow! These are just too cool!

    Overkill? No, but they could certainly get addictive!

    Oh Diane I was just thinking today as I was shoveling gravel into the wheelbarrow that I must make a little bag like you made. Now I see your fabulous bag and shuttle sets and I am swooning. I m.u.s.t make these! Sunday Smiles...

    Overkill? Never! The dorset bag is my absolute favorite for my tatting projects. One can never have too many projects . . . or bags . . . or shuttles . . .

    Fantastic idea :)

    To answer your question no! All designs, all colours and all sizes are really NEEDED!!!!!
    I love chocolate brown and pink together as you'll all find out in the fall - a secret at the moment, though.
    I just love the bag (and contents) you gave me when we met and they'll be put to use as soon as I get home.

    Absolutely not!!! These bags and matching shuttles are adorable!!! I love pink and chocolate brown together and purple is also very pretty! What a cute idea to make the matching shuttles too. Really when you think about it most of us tatters have more than one project going at the same time so why not a bag for each project ;P I could really go for this idea with such cute bags and shuttles one would just never be enough LOL!!!

    No, never too many bags. No, not overkill and absolutely a necessity to have matching shuttle and bag. Great idea, Diane!!

    overkill?, no way!

    In my opinion, a tatter can never have to many blinged shuttles or to many bags.

    I like pink and brown together. Both are super cute.

    Overkill? No, no, NO! But I wonder...am I the only greedy Gretel who thinks one matching shuttle is not enough? Two matching shuttles for me (and then I can be baked into the greedy Gretel cookie I deserve to be, hee hee.)

    Well with MY track record of bags and shuttles you already know the answer-the more the merrier!

    Too many projects? Never!

    Though I am curious how you applied the fabric to the shuttle? I have a sizable fabric stash and I'd love to be able to try it out myself.
