Gift Duffle Bags
I got this stunning home dec fabric at a thrift shop (6 yards, a buck a yard).

I wanted to make gift bags for friends and family for Christmas & wanted to use the entire vertical cut of the print, but it was too big (over 20 inches) so i eventually opted to just use the bloom portion & make duffles. I needed to make 7 but didn't have enough fabric. I had another piece of fabric in my thrift store stash that matched the colors pretty well, so used that for the handles & sides. I constructed the top, installed the zipper, added the sides then slid pieces of batting in, then put the whole thing on the long arm.

Here they all are, the first 3 needed for Christmas day, and the last 4 not needed until last weekend for a very belated holiday celebration. The finished size was about 20" wide, 12.5" high and about 8" deep.
