Have I ever told you that I'm terrible at following patterns and directions?
I think I've mentioned it a few times.
Making this bag was no different. I started with the Simplicity #2357 pattern,
but it wasn't quite right for what I wanted, so....
I made it bigger, the strap got longer, a slot for a pocket was added, and
my Ghastlie block was set-in one of the fabric pieces.
I liked it better, of course.
It's perfect for my on-the-go quilty projects
(with a pocket for my scissors and other necessities.)

Men, need directions just to get it right while women use the back of the directions sheet to sketch and make it BETTER!!
ReplyDeleteI love your bag! (can I say that?)
xx
Oooh, the black background really makes the Ghastlie print pop out at you! Steak Sauce!
ReplyDeleteWhat a practical use for Ghastlies, love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat bag, I think the fabric is a great choice too and the bag looks fun to make and wear !
ReplyDeleteOh look at that, you already made your block into a great bag, a lovely bag!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool bag. Love the colours. For a second, I thought it was an apron. Hm-got me thinking-
ReplyDeleteYOUR BAG IS GREAT!!!! even if it is GHASTLY, LOL!!!!! you are so funny....... who does read directions, honestly, I don't most of the time, lol......I don't know why I waste my time writing them, hardly anyone reads them. Even in our tight little quilting group, they're always calling or texting me to ask me things...and I try not to remind them the directions were included in the pattern, lol.
ReplyDeleteI was fascinated by the ghastlie block last time and wondered what you were up to. That is one wicked block whipped up into a fantastic shape! I LOVE IT!! Is it different enough for you to do your own pattern? Maybe Samm will do a bag it blog? And you can win for that great block on that awesome tote bag...
