WIP Wednesday - I Did It!!

I finally did it!!  I made a decision on fabrics and started putting together my Sew Together Bag.  I'm using the tutorial over at The Quilt Barn in conjunction with the pattern.

Here's my pile of fabrics, all ready for sewing.  I wanted to use a variety of colours and not just orange.  But who am I kidding???  This bag was soooooo going to be made out of orange fabrics, with orange zippers.  J


Side panels completed.  I like using the tutorial because it provides a lot of photos.


Stay tuned.  I'm hoping to make some more progress this weekend.


I also managed to get all my fabric cut for the Meadow Mystery QAL hosted by Cheryl at Meadow Mist Designs.  It's good to be not rushing at the last minute, but now I have to wait until September for the next set of instructions.  I'm excited to start sewing!!


What have you been working on this week?

  7. Those orange fabrics are going to make one good looking bag! I'm all cut up and ready for September, as well for Meadow Mystery. It's going to be a long wait isn't it?

  9. Yay! Nothing wrong with orange on orange!
    If you have not yet sewn your zippers in, I recommend Crazy Mom Quilts' zipper end method.
