Nammie to 7 that is absolutely one of the cutest bags I have ever seen.

Don't take the labels off the pieces until you are ready for them! I cut out multiples, thinking I was going to assembly line sew them, and it was a bit confusing. Made 4, was not happy with the soft bottom so I added a thin piece of plastic. Better for me. Top stitching through all the layers was tricky for me at the top, the machine got in the way, but it is doable. Using 3 colors worked best for me. 4 and 5 got too tricky (never sure which color was going to be on which pocket and there are alot of pockets). If you are selling them, charge what they are worth! A lady in our guild charges $75 to make them, you supply the fabric!

My sister has made a bunch of these. She uses faux leather for the bottom part and adds little feet. She also put in a recessed zipper on some but is still figuring out the best method for that.

Trying to remember (a chore that gets more difficult all the time) I think I just used the Soft and Stable on the main outside body parts and then used the recommended interfacing for the other pieces.

This is one I made maybe 5 years ago. It is very saggy.

The 2nd picture (if this works) is the one I made 2 years ago with the Soft and Stable

great ideas for bags, I will have to try the soft and stable.

Thx, looks wonderful using the soft and stable. Going to try!

Thanks -- I will tell my granddaughter. She is pretty proud of her bag!

Take your time. It is not hard. I did not do the insert, instead I made pockets that worked for mehttp://www.quiltingboard.com/attachm...d=496036&stc=1

If I use the soft and stable, would I have to quilt it to the pieces since its not fusible?
