Duffle bag
 

I've managed to finish this duffle bag for my darling grand-daughter's 10th birthday on time!!!
And then I also made some little presents for friends overseas.
Thanks for looking!!! :)

You have been busy. I am sure your great grandaughter will love her bag!

Your grandaughter is going to be so happy with her duffel bag. It's stylish! Your placemats are nice too. The fabric containers are nice. Your friends are lucky. I really love the blue one with turtles. The lining fabric works so perfectly with the blue fabric. You nailed it!

That bag is super cute and one-of-a-kind. Granddaughter will love it! She can take it on sleepovers.

Those are adorable!!

You have been busy creating lovely gifts.

Great duffle bag and gifts.

She will love this.

Love the duffle bag colors, you have been very busy.

Lynnie, I live in the bush and we can't just quick go into town to get something, so I was looking in my spare box where I keep all my zips....some date back to "donkeys years" ago - I even found one with the shop sticker of 39 c.....so imagine how long ago that was when zips used to cost "only" that much :) and I found this double one, had been taken off something and was wondering what it was..... Well it's the zip from a cooler bag I had taken it off when the bag was broken. So in the bush you find all sorts of "crazy" ideas to do things with what you have at hand!!! Happy quilting to you!!! :) <3

You were a busy little beaver (an American expression). Everything you made is great.

My 10 yr old granddaughter would love that bag also!! So cute. I really enjoy all your items, great job!

Some in your life are really special. Great gifts.

All are very nice gifts.

Very lucky recipients!

All of your gifts are really nice. You did a great job on them. I'm sure you made everyone happy

Great duffle bag and I love the fabrics you used in your fabric baskets. Your friends will love their gifts.

Great projects!! I get your thriftiness. Growing up, we never got rid of anything with the buttons and zippers still on them. For the zippers, we measured them, the edges starched and ironed and stored flat waiting for the next project. Of course the clothes were generally thread bare by the time we got rid of them.

My guess is that she will love that bag and get lots of use out of it. Sleepovers, etc. Lovely extra gifts, too.

Aaaahhh the duffel bag is so stinking cute! What a nice gifts all.

Very cute. Which pattern did you use for the duffel bag?

Linda, I didn't have a pattern, I searched through the internet, found several different ones and tried to figure out how to do it. It was a little bit of a problem with the circle, my calculations came to a 12" across which I cut out using a bucket ;) , pinned it on and found it was too large so I measured and marked 1/2" right around, cut it and it fitted!!! Hallelujah!!! :) I only thought afterwards that I could have made the side pockets a little higher.....well you live and you learn, so it'll be better next time :thumbup: ohhh and the body is 35" x 20" in case you want to try. The straps are 120" long.
Have a lovely week-end!!!
