I made a weekender bag!

I have made zipper bags and button closed bags before.

I bought some beautiful canvas prints and want to make bigger bags to use for overnight trips.

I bought the Wren Weekender pattern from Violet Field Threads.

Foam interfacing was one recommended stabilizer.

So below are some in-progress pics.

I used purchased webbing for handles.

I love this birdie fabric.

After a few sessions with a seam ripper and a struggle to turn the thing right-side out,

To-da! A finished bag.

Zipped up and ready to travel.

Hint-unzip the zipper before sewing in the lining.

Don't ask me how I discovered this.

Inside there are pockets.

What I learned:

I'm not going to use foam next time.

I'm going to make another bag using a softer interfacing, possibly quilting batting.

This was a quick make. Cut out on Thursday. Sewn on Friday and finished on Saturday.

Have a great week.
