Zipper Bag-Another First
 

Someone mentioned that this bag from Byannie.com was easy to make, so I tried it. It was good practice for learning to quilt, since I've only stitched in the ditches. The video explained how to mark the lines to follow. You start with a "sandwich" that is 18" by 21" and quilt a pattern. The size is manageable for trying out rulers and free motion skills.
After quilting the rectangle for this bag, I actually repeated the pattern in the border of the quilt I had finished--another first. Will post that quilt when I hem it.

Two thumbs up on this one. Love the sea shore fabric.

Oh wow! This is a great looking zipper bag. You did fantastic on it. I think bags like this are fun to make & it does give you lots of practice on quilting & such. Keep up the good work!!!

Great job on trying a new pattern. Cute bag!

Darling little bag and I love the fabric

I'm not a bag person, but I do like this one. The metal zipper and the details on the handle are what sets it of. I'd love to find a shallower pattern for these for my sunglasses to be kept in.

Love this!!! Super cute and useful to boot!

Really nicely done. Looks professional.

I'm so glad to see your post! You made a wonderful bag, I love the fabric you chose. And the detail on the handle really sets it off.

What a fun bag. You did a very nice job ... who can resist sea shells.

This bag is so pretty and makes great use of the perfect fabric to take to the beach. I know it is time for me to try and make one.

Cute fabric and bag.
