Last weekend at retreat I started making a sew together bag. I was happy because it has only been on my list for a YEAR! (only. ha!) If you aren't familiar with the sew together bag, check out this post. It's brilliant! I use mine for carrying (and storing) all my sewing machine parts, tools and such. I was intimidated by the pattern because it involves 4 (!!!) zippers. But do you know what? It's totally worth it!
Another thing that kept me from starting this bag was choosing a color scheme. It was hard to narrow it down, but once I found these orange and gray scraps, I knew I had my answer. I am SO pleased with the results!
Here's the inside....all ready to fill with goodies!
This is scrap project #24/101.
Now it's your turn. Please link up your finishes! Happy, happy Friday to you!
I've seen this bag and I want to make one but it scares me! All those zippers! Yours turned out super cute though so I may have to give it a try ;-)
ReplyDeleteYour zippered bag is cute, useful and charming. What a great finish!
ReplyDeleteYes, 4 zippers would have me running for the hills, but you have 'pulled' it off. Lovely scrap project - keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteOh wow I love this bag! This pattern has been on my to-sew list for eons as well but I just never seem to get around to it. This is inspiration to maybe give it a whirl over the christmas break when I want a fun mini-project and a break from quilting. Your fabric selections are wonderful, thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow. I love the bag and the quilts you have on sale. What a pity I'm across the ocean!
ReplyDeleteIt's also my first time at your finish it up linky party, although I've been an avid reader for quite a time. So happy to be able to share a V&Co pattern. Thanks for hosting it!
That is absolutely perfect bag!
ReplyDeleteAck! your blog can be a dangerous place to hang around for a girl who is trying not to start new projects - I will now be spending the rest of today resisting the temptation to start one of my own sew together bags ;) the colors and patchwork are so pretty, and I even spy a bit of pumpkin henna garden! {my fav fabric ever, squeal!} happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteOh my... super cute and super functional make one great project!

ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome bag! I'm so excited because your book came in the mail yesterday (very squeal worthy!), and I thought there was no finish it up Friday (yesterday!), cuz I got confused(yesterday!)! On the up side, I got 2 Fridays this week! Now to link up!!! :) Yay!

ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous bag! I've never seen it before! The zippers kinda worry me though, I have a bit of zipper phobia. But wow! If there ever was a time to throw caution to the wind and do zippers it would be for this bag.

ReplyDeleteI already bought my pattern
I have bought this pattern, but I haven't made it yet. I want to make one to carry in my knitting bag---I think it would be perfect for all my little tools. I really love your color scheme and your patchwork. Beautiful---I'm having me some serious zipper pouch envy right now!
ReplyDeleteI'm so in love with your color combo's and the scrappy patchwork, beautiful job. I hopped over to Craftsy to check this pattern our cuz I love it like everyone else. But the review kind of scared me off. Think you might post your own helpful tips when making the bag? :O)
ReplyDeleteThis has also been on my to do list and I actually almost used it at our last guild meeting. I love what you have done with it. Beautiful job.
ReplyDeleteI made this bag early this year and I LOVE IT! It holds SOOO much! I love your version...great colour combo!
