Sweet Retreats Little Sister bag
2 Attachment(s)
Here is my latest accomplishment. The pattern is from Whistlepig Creek Productions. I made it with the zipper closure. I've made lots of bags, and I thought these instructions weren't very clear. I like the bag but I probably won't make another from this pattern.

Don't know why the pics are turned sideways! Sorry about that.

Like the bag and the color combinations.
|
How perfectly wonderful this bag turned out!
|
I do so like your bag. I have made a good many bags and have found that a lot of the patterns can be vague in their instructions. I have never inserted a recessed zipper and want to add one to one of my favorite bag patterns, was it difficult? I am still googling others tutorials on this. I am finding a lot of different methods of doing this. Now to decide which one to follow.

very nice!!!!
|
The bag is gorgeous!
|
That is a great bag - love the outside pockets and the shape!
|
Lots of pockets!! THAT's what I like!
|
Super bag. Looks like you overcame any problems with the instructions. BrendaK

I like your bag! I hope you wrote down the directions for the way you made it for next time. I make lots of notes in my patterns if I do something different or if the pattern directions are not well written. Great job!
|
Love the bag!!
|
Love the bag!!! I find reading patterns can be difficult. I love it when there is a video to go along with the pattern.
|
Great bag. If you decided to make the bag again I am sure that you could refine the instructions to make it easier.
|
Beautiful bag with lots of pockets!

Nicely done.

Nice bag. I have looked at many bag patterns and have purchased a couple but just can't seem to get started on them. This encourages me..... but not when the instructions aren't good.

It is very similar to what I did for this bag. I cut 2 pieces 3 1/2 by app 21 and added fusible interfacing to each. Fold each piece in half so they are now 1 3/4 by 21. Each of these is placed on top of the zipper (just like in the video), raw edge on the zipper edge, folded edge covering the zipper (there is no fabric on the bottom of the zipper). I finished the zipper insert exactly as Debbie did, adding the end tabs. I put this insert into the finished bag. To do this, measure down 3/4" from the long sides of the bag and mark. Pin the folded edges of the side zipper tabs to this line, then top stitch close to the edge. Make sure your bobbin thread matches the outside of your bag. The end tabs then get tucked under and inside the bag. Hope this helps you. Zippers are not hard to do. They just seem intimidating. |
Great looking bag!
