Sew Together Bag

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!
