Instructions

Read directions carefully. Takes at least 4 yards of fabric! Not for a beginner unless you are really dedicated.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Traditional


Materials

Ethchings fabric from Moda and a coordinating red polka dot. Fusible batting.

What was your inspiration?

I found this pattern on the Craftsy site and loved the colors. I'm a decorator and the etchings fabric from Moda features houses and architectural drawiings so I wanted to use that to use in my business as a brief case.

What are you most proud of?

I was an accomplished seamstress in my younger years but haven't sewn in many years. I am so proud that my skills have returned and happy with the workmanship that I put into this bag. I have in mind some others to make involving college football teams.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Read the directions carefully as they are a bit confusing.

I am curious what size bag? I would like to make a big tote bag with beside pockets on both. Do you have this pattern?

I just love this bag. I have the pattern to make it, and hope that mine turns out as well as yours.

Thank you. I have made 2 other bags using the pattern. It is a bit difficult but doable. I am an interior designer and I think my knowledge of putting colors and patterns together has helped me with my quilting. Carol
