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!

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

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

  15. 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!
