My Weekend Project

 


I've been working on this bag for a few weeks. I spent a weekend cutting out all the fabric. I spent another day cutting out all the foam (Bosal), fusible batting, and fusible interfacing. LOTS of pieces! Then I spent another day fusing aforementioned foam, batting, and interfacing to all the pieces.


Yesterday I spent most of the day quilting the individual pieces. LOTS of quilting of little bits. I did simple straight line quilting.


Today was the day to put all the pieces together. And it did take ALL DAY. This is called the Tool Tote. The pattern came with metal stays that force the bag to stay open all the way when unzipped - see below. I bought this pattern in Houston last Fall.



Here's a picture of the inside of the bag. There are 8 pockets around the outside of the bag and 8 more around the inside. LOTS of pockets!

I'm so glad I made this, but I'm even more glad it's done! I'll admit that the instructions were very confusing at times. I spent a good bit of time today figuring out what I was supposed to do. I finally figured it all out, thank goodness. 

Now what will I do with this??? My plan is to take it along for sew days with my friends - it can hold all my necessaries. It may also carry my toiletries for weekends at our lake home. Or how about holding picnic food for a boat outing? I can think of LOTS of uses. 

I have two smaller bags - more like zippered pouches - cut out and ready to make. They will be much easier and faster than this complicated bag. It's a good thing I love it!

I've also done a bit of hand piecing this week. More on that soon.

Continue to stay safe!

  1. HACK VANISH RECOVERED MY LOST 19.78 BITCOIN AND AIDED ME FIX MY CREDIT REPORT

    In Dec, 2021, I invested the sum of 19.78 BTC with a fake blockchain impostor I met online, all the money I had saved up since 2014 got stolen just within a Month, my whole life almost crumbled, to crown it all my FICO score was so bad that I couldn't even afford securing a loan to help my kids, but everything became better after I joined a forum online where I met people testifying about HACK VANISH, a hacker who has been helping thousands of people all over the world. I decided to reach out to him via the following contact shared on the platform Text/Call/WhatsApp: + 1 (747) 293-8514, Email: hackvanish@ gmail. Com, they responded and requested for all necessary details needed in carrying out my JOB, to my greatest surprise my bitcoin was recovered and my credit report fixed, FICO score was boosted to 783 across all 3-credit bureau's, all negative items cleared just within 8 days. I can't stop expressing my profound gratitude to this great team of hackers, I strongly recommend them to anyone in need.
