Very attractive bags. You should sell them on 'Etsy'

It would be really nice if you made an instructable:) If you are worried about your english, you can just let the pictures talk for the most part.

I love IKEA fabrics! Great quality heavyweights at a good price. You can even check designs and availability on line: http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/IkeamsSearch?storeId=12&langId=-1&catalogId=11001&searchType=product&pageNumber=-1&orderBy=score&category=%23%7EProducts&query=fabric

Could you maybe post pics of the step by step. I really like them but I have no idea of how to make a bag, so anything would help. Thanks.

These are super cute! I particularly like the one with the pear-shaped bottom, pink & green square fabric. Totally original.

Where do you get the fabric from - I don't recall Ikea selling fabric by the yard, or something like that? Or are these just "Ikea-inspired"?

Ikea sells fabric by the yard near the curtains (well there in my store). I love the bags. Most of my Ikea fabric goes towards bags too. I like the nice heavy weight.
