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.
