Hello Cuties, I made this bag yesterday hoping it would be large enough to carry a good size quilt in. However, I can only put 2 children quilts in so it may just end up being a craft bag for me. I had watched a YouTube video With Not your mama's quilt store. She doesn’t give measurements except for the 5 inch cut out for your hands to hold the dowels. I guessed and I probably came out close to her size. This will just become a craft bag unless I use it for a purse-lol- hubby says too big for a purse-😉 I think I will get him to cut another inch off my dowels. They are 16 inch now and if he cuts an inch off of each it will give me another 2 inches to get inside. Speaking of inside, the video says to piece your 5 inch squares you cut out and make an inside pocket. Well I did but I wanted mine to zip. So I pieced the yellow 3 1/2 inch squares I cut to box my corners for the top of zipper. I ended up sewing my zipper to unzip from right to left which seems backwards to me as I’m right handed. I got a phone call while sewing and blame on that-lol- I enclosed my zipper top kinda like you do sausage pillowcase so I couldn’t figure while on phone if I was inserting it right. Well it still works and you can see my piecing but all the fabric was used so no scraps. My 3 1/2 inch corner squares of the print I’ll use for begging and ending sewing. So a no waste project. I cut this bag two 22 1/2 wide x 21inch tall as that was my piece of yellow I had. Cut 2 of lining and 2 of outer fabric if anyone wants to know. I also used pellon Flex-Foam FF77 sew in stabilizer to make it stand up. I think that’s all. Very easy especially if you watch video. I made this in one afternoon. Have a great day my friends❤️Toogie
Once I get a copy from Trev I’ll let you know. It’s very detailed. I’ll send one to you personally. Love Chris
