It's a pretty bag but no way would I make something like that for sale. Just the cost of an entire jelly roll not to mention the fusible batting used you would never be able to charge enough to just break even.
But, be a neat way to reduce your stash and make a scrappy bag. |

Oh that looks like it would be so neat!,, I have some strips I got in Paducah that would be perfect. Anyone know where to find the duo fuse? wonder why not just use fuse-able batting.

Saw a different technique, same results at the Paducah Quilt Show. The lady took clothesline and wrapped the 2" strips around it as she did the same sewing - zig-zagging it in the circle or other shape you wanted. It was beautiful and looked really easy. I don't know if there is a tute for that method.

With the Hobo bag, you don't make the continuous tube, but do each strip separately, then arrange them in the order you want them and sew them together. You end up with a flat piece that you then shape the sides and make a channel for the handles to go through. The pattern instructions are very easy to follow.

Joysewer - If you used warm and natural, did you use a spray glue to bind the batting to the strip? Or did you just lay it on the strip and fold it in?
Thanks everyone for your input, I appreciate it! |
This is an awesome bag. Thanks for sharing

These are great ideas! Thanks, everyone!

What do you think the difference in weight and softness would be? I.e.: would the rope one be heavier and less soft? That might be a consideration for me if I were to make one.
