Anitapatch is always giving us very good links to projects and ideas. Thank you anitapatch. A few days ago she gave us a link to the Janome site. While browsing there, I found this Right Turn Bag, by Anna Marie Horner. I just had to try it. The one I made (in Projects) is way too large for me. I made it for my grandsons wife, with a few modifications. Taylor wanted a zipper closure and I wasn't sure how it would drape, because Anna put a snap closure. I also wasn't sure how I would attach a one strap. Here are the links to how I inserted the zipper, (someone was asking about it in a cosmetic post in Projects), although I know us older Cuties have this. The second link is to a video and free PDF file for the bag. I also made this bag about 22 wide x 20 high and it still is large, even with boxing the 4 inch bottom. I put the strap in different because of the zip.I also added inside pockets and a swivel hook inside side seam, for her to hang her keys. I put an outside zip pocket on the back for easy reach for cell phone.You have free range with fabrics and decorative stitching so give it a try, Cuties. I am going to make me a smaller version now.Hope you all have a good day today-Toogie

Right, and the look can change with the fabrics used. Would be good for those leftover jelly roll pieces.

It can't get much easier and the result is rewarding. I just don't need a bag that big, personally. I am making me one now,smaller.

Yes, she does. Trouble is, when she gives us a new site, I get absorbed looking and before I know it, my time to sew is gone!-lol

Well if she likes a huge bag, this is the one, although you could reduce the size. She could carry swim items,towel and all, in here.

You're welcome. I just made a small bag in Projects and I boxed the corners so it would sit up.
