One question for you, I watched your video on laminating. You said you wouldn't laminate the binding on the zipper... What about the binding around the the edges of the bag? Do you think that worked?
So excited to make this bag!


OK... Inquiring minds wanna know... where did you find superhero quilter fabric?!?!? I just have to see that!

Laminating the exterior "A" piece would be fine. Even the side panels would probably be OK ... just don't do the binding.

May I ask? What is a "GFG project"?

I know one other person who is making 5 of them to use when she is participating in a sale/ silent auction of some sort for a fundraiser for their quilting group.

"GFG" = Grandmother's Flower Garden, a hexie hand sewing project. And an excellent idea for this bag!!

omigosh... I wasn't thinking you meant *that* GFG. :) It *would* be good for hexies!

Fabric.com! Search for "Quilt Girl Patchwork." You kind of have to dig a little for it. The collection is super cute, and on sale!

This is it closed up! I didn't use the Laurel Birch fabrics, I decided to use other fabrics for the first one.

Love the fabric! Looks great, did you like making it?

I am so in love with these bags - they all look so incredible! I have inched on up to Step 4! I have the long line of ZP's and liners connected. Sally, I thought I might lose my mind on the first couple - but then it settled in and made more sense by the end.
A couple things that helped me:
1. As a garment sewist, I found the clips great to get things situated at first, but then I want my pins. So I used the pins in a way that I could go over them (gently and slowly) if I wanted to. My lining fabric kept wanting to crawl. Nothing major - but the pins helped control it.
2. I circled the key sections of the instructions so I could easily find them as I "rinsed and repeated" on each section.
3. Since I have several machines I kept one set up for just the top stitching.

I hope tomorrow to move on to the next steps.
