This is a compact, well structured bag, with a reinforced, set-in base.
And you have the option of using wipeable fabric for the lining (aka a shower curtain) and turning your bag into a travel/wash bag.
The zip in this bag is virtually 'set in' near the end of the construction, with the final addition of handles fixed to the outside of the bag.
I will be teaching this pattern as a one day workshop in July - more details on this here (scroll down), which is why I kept the outer design details fairly simple.
However, hopefully with a sprinkle of imagination and a dash of initiative, you could easily add your own design ideas to this wee bag.
I will eventually get the pattern written up (along with Martha May, Modern Maud and Joanie!) and put into my Etsy shop!
Well, I hope you like Miss Eddy, the new member of my 'bag family'!
P.s. Thank you so much to those of you who have voted for my humble Welcome Wallhanging in the Weekly Themed Quilters Gallery contest. Aren't there some wonderful wallhangings in there? Voting ends Sunday, so you still have time to vote for your favourite here.
This looks great. I've been thinking about using vinyl in bags, but more on the outside to withstand all the rain we've been getting! Have you ever tried that?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bag! Love the shower curtain idea. I just voted :)
ReplyDeleteI am loving the shower curtain idea too! The bag is a gorgeous addition to your collection.
ReplyDeleteMiss Eddy is very stylish. I am eagerly awaiting for when your patterns hit the shop as I have my eye on one! That is a hint btw! Di xo
ReplyDeleteI often suggest shower curtains to poeple in the shop when they are looking for waterproof fabric - check out places like Poundland and Wilkinson for really cheap (UK)buys.
ReplyDeleteFab bag Judith, will be a super workshop. Pattern going on sale??
The bags look so lovely and it is such a lovely idea with the shower curtain. I hope that one is more slippy than the waterproof fabric I got once and the food always stuck on the fabric.
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful bag, Judith! I've voted too :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice, like the conversion to a washbag idea too
ReplyDeleteNice bag indeed, love the solidness of the look :-) Definitely want pattern!
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of this one and its structure. Good idea to use the shower curtain too.
ReplyDeleteSmashing addition to your bag collection !
