Using my new fabric

I’ve been watching a lot of floss-tube, rather boring, people talking about those little exes on fabric. Then the trouble starts with gadgets and ideas. So Lori Holt was showing some cute project bags. I could have figured it out, but I ordered an old pattern from By Annie. Since it was a seller on etsy, she probably didn’t make anything off the sale.

I then went into my new stash and made a bag.

Yes, using Annies Soft and sturdy, or the similar product from Pellon, I quilted the back. Having a study bag is nice. I’ve made a few that are just too flimsy.

Yup, all the fabrics are from a fat quarter bundle I bought last week at the sale. Yes, Annie recommended using webbing for the handle, I didn’t have any, I didn’t even reinforce the handle with interfacing. It works.

I did make a vinyl window, nice to see what is in there. Like those loose threads that I neglected to clean up. Also, from Loris’ video I sewed in a large lobster claw.

It can hold the thread keeper.

Or scissors. I think I like the scissors better. Oh you may have noticed the scissors.

Nothing wrong with the red handle scissors, except, the blades were wide and they didn’t stay in their little sheath.

You also may notice that I upgraded the silver sheath. I ordered some knitting needle tips. The large size is perfect inside the silver bead cap. Yup, I did glue it in place. Its always fun to pick up new tools.

Some final beauty shots.

And now, back to the exes.
