My sister put a fire under me and I finally picked up the pattern for the Sew Together Bag. I was honestly quite intimidated by this project, even before I read the pattern! There are 4 zippers in this bag and it just looks very complex! The only way to try something new is to jump right in.
I decided on my fabric, for my first bag, and followed all the cutting instructions. I always have a bolt of Pellon SF101 on hand and lots of Quilter's Dream batting. I had to special order the long zipper. I get all my zippers from Zipit!
The first bag took me about 2 days to make. I would have finished it sooner, but finally stumbled upon a great tutorial. This help immensely, as I am a visual learner. I love pictures!! Go check out the tutorial by Quilt Barn - She breaks everything down for us, nicely!
The second and third bags came out easily. 2 out of the 3 are already gone. I had to keep one for myself. I am working on 4 more (for custom orders) and need to make at least 3 for an upcoming craft fair. I better get to the studio and get to work!
