So nice and pretty. What do you use to make the bottom stand out so nice and circular?

I've made a couple abbey bags, they aren't hard, kind of fun to make

These are so useful... I won one at a Quilt Overnight Class...Lucky me...and they hold a lot of threads and scraps... :-)

I'm going to have to make one of these -- or two or three.

Those are great, I really need to make myself one or two or?

The bottom is squared off by sewing across the point and 1/2" polyester boning is put under the band on the top of the bag.

I made one a few years ago. I place a plastic bag inside to avoid threads clinging to the fabric. It is part of my sewing equipment.

Someone mentioned that they put a plastic cottage cheese carton inside theirs to make it easier to clean out and also put thread, small scissors, etc. into it and put the lid on it to take stuff to retreats or classes.

Very nice job!! Hmm, I think I need to search out the pattern...unless of course you are offering? ;)

I would love to but it isn't my pattern to give out. It came from probably the fall issue of Simple Quilts & Sewing.
