My latest obsession
Hi all
I’ve been stuck on making these very useful project bags. I’m addicted. I keep making them different sizes. Found directions on Youtube by Flosstube.
Thanks for looking!

Very nice. I could use some of those. Guess I'll go look it up on YouTube. Is #37 the right one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhGnA_HrXSA
Edited to add: I think PB yours looks more like #40. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgKkInH-8bs

Here are the printed instructions:
On YouTube....MakingLifeCount...project bag...floss tube
This will make 2 bags:
1/2 yd outer fabric
1/3 yd lining fabric
1/3 clear vinyl. ..medium weight..
1/3 fusible fleece...we used pellon 987F
(2) 14 inch zippers
Wonder tape
Cut for (1) bag:
13 x 11 1/4....lining fabric and fusible fleece
13 x 9 3/4 .....vinyl
15 1/4 x 13 3/4.....outer fabic...take note if fabric is directional width is 15 1/4....
Cut (2 strips) 2 x 13 ....outer fabric
Steps:
1. Fuse the fleece to wrong side of the lining fabric
2. Fold under and press 1/2 inch on all four sides of the outer fabric
3. Fold under 1/2 inch on top and bottom of each strip of the outer fabric (2 x 13 strips). Press to make two 1 x 13 inch strips
4. Sandwich vinyl between the 2 strips about 1/2 inch in.....use wonder tape (you can buy at joanns ...quilting notions) on both sides to attach vinyl to the strips. Then sew a 1/4 seam.
5. Sandwich the zipper into the top of the 2 strips. Sew in place with the zipper pull on the right. Note...where the zipper actually opens place 1/2 inch from edge.
6. Lay the vinyl/zipper on top of the lining/fleece. Sew along the top edge using thread to match the zipper. Then sew a small seam around the 3 remaining edges (1/8 seam). Trim/square up any uneven edges at this point. Note - I back tacked over the zipper ends....when you square up cut off excess zipper edges.
7. Center the vinyl/lining piece on top of the outer fabric. Fold over the top and bottom and sew a 1/4 inch seam. A walking foot is helpful at this step.
8. Miter the corners (review Ollie's attached pdf) and sew the 2 sides.
