The Sew Along bag is finished and I must say it makes me smile because it is kind of crazy looking with the hexies appliqued and the multi-color checked edges.
All of this came from my stash - the black outside, the hexies, the lime green lining and the checkered bindings. I used a lighter weight interfacing on this one and those side panels were a bit easier to handle than the first one I made. Lesson learned.
This bag is only about 9 inches wide but it uses almost a yard of fabric. There are 3 zippered pockets inside plus a longer zipper closes the whole bag and becomes the handles. Such a clever design.
I have another set of zippers and some fabric from the stash set aside to make one more of these. I found myself looking through my fat quarter "collection" for ideas and must admit I found several possibilities.
Found my way here by way of the Linky Party at Freemotion by the River. I have made 2 of these bags but I have to say I Love your hexie idea. I just might need to try this. Will be checking out your blog posts later as am short on time this morning.
ReplyDeleteLove that bag! So cute. The bottom rows of hexies are a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun and must be very handy, too!
ReplyDeleteI love everything about that bag, especially the hexies and checkered fabric!
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling you were preparing your outside fabric for this bag. It is wonderful!! I just love your fabrics with the hexies. I might have to copy your idea. :)
ReplyDeleteI love all those pockets!
ReplyDeleteAfter making 9 of these bags, I can say I love them as well! Did I tell you about the mini? It's about 2" shorter with 1 less pocket. It's great for my handwork.
