Bags for Quiltcon Part 1

I've always been a bit envious of all these bags I've seen online on various blogs. I finally built up the courage and tackled the Sew Together Bag by SewDemented. Thanks to the additional instructions from The Quilt Barn, I was able to put this bag together successfully. This bag took me three nights to put together. The first night I cut all the fabric, attached the interfacing, and created the outside quilted cover.


The second night I put the inside of the bag together with the sides. The third night I completed the outside of the bag and the handles.


I was able to use the leftovers I had of the Carnaby Street collection to put this bag together. It's a beautiful collection, and I think it was a wonderful choice for this bag.


The inside lining just pops, and I really love how it turned out.


I was also really happy that I had enough of the pocket lining fabric. Along with the zipper colors, this might be my favorite part.


This has been a wonderful bag that I've truly enjoyed using the last couple of weeks. I'm looking forward to taking it to Quiltcon!

    This is one of the best STB I have seen on the net---beautiful fabric choices. I also have the pattern, but need to get my courage together before I try it.

    VERY, VERY cute!!! Well done! Please remember my birthday is in November, if you need to make more of these for "practice".

    I've been eyeing this pattern for a while. Is it as tricky as it seems?

    Thanks for linking up with TGIFF (again!)

    I'm scared of making bags! Oh, but your bag makes me want to throw fear to the wind...hmmm. It looks great; and all those extra compartments inside are so awesome!

    Oh, I love the colors you used! I just decided I needed another, so be careful they are addicting :)

    I love it! This bag is on my list and yours makes me want to pull out the patterns and pick fabrics now! But I've gotta finish up my Trail Tote . .

    Fabulous! I just posted my story today about my QuiltCon bag. It didn't go together as seamlessly as yours. Sigh.

    That's just too cool. I like the way you used different fabrics and zippers. It's just dandy.

    You made really great fabric choices for this bag- it is every bit as fantastic on the inside as it is on the outside! I had a terrible time deciding between this bag pattern and the Bionic Bag. Ultimately I made the Bionic Bag (which I am very happy with), but this one looks really awesome! If only there was enough time to make everything!
