I have always wanted one of these but just never took the time to make it. This past Spring (yes, I am a little behind here), I designed a bag for the ladies to do at our guild retreat. I will post the tutorial next post.
Don't you love this fabric. I have a thing for notion type fabric. I think it is incredibly cute and perfect for projects like this. Its been in my stash for about a year and a half. Whew, that time went fast.
This is not on the pattern. One of the ladies suggesting putting a little rubberized backing on it. I just hand sewed it on
Then I wanted a match set because I never have matched sets. Like you know those ladies that have matching bags and suitcases. Not me. Just a conglomeration of whateve was on sale. Ha! But thats okay I am a thrifty kind of girl after all. But this was a little treat for myself along with some functionality.
I just measure my machine, figured a rectangular size, added a half an inch for each side. I added some batting as well. I sewed my sides and one end with right sides together and then turned it inside out. I added Velcro and the straps. Just turn in the final side and sew closed.
Yes, below there is a little bit of a mess. My sewing room is in a constant process of clean and then messy.
