And here is the other finished bag:

both post just fine. See if the pics stay up.

I didn't know there was a limit on pictures....just shows a attachment and then invalid entry...like the bag

I could not open any of the attachments. They all say invalid attachments.

Here is a pic of the large Mondo bag. Looks the same to me.

cute bags.I like patchwork bags-they have a homey feel.

This mando bag has a different shape at the bottom but is a nice bag - the patch bag I did has square corners and comes out a lot wider at the bottom.

For some reason, when I try to open your attachments, it says the attachment is invalid.

Miriam,
I can't believe that you spent soooo much time, only to have the QB mess up on your photos. Thank you so much for your efforts; I really do appreciate the time and effort involved and the frustration level that you had to have had. I think that I might have blown a fuse if I had been in your shoes. In order to "get it", I took your photos...the ones that came through unscathed, and your narrative, piece by piece and pasted them into a word document. Having the first and last photos on the same page allowed me to get a better idea of what you had done. A couple things still confused me and then after re-reading it all again, your words finally struck me when you said to sew it like a child's block. I still haven't figured out the last step in the lining unless you top stitch it closed but then it wouldn't hurt to top stitch all around the upper edge, I guess. It may be a while until I get around to giving it a try but I will do it soon as I get my Christmas stuff done. Again, THANK YOU!!!
Donna

Yes, I stitched the last lining seam from the top - I just folded the raw edges in and then sewed on top - you could sew that by hand if you prefer - it would be nicer but I'm lazy... It took about 3 hours to put together. Top stitching all the way around would be a good idea and maybe some kind of iron on stiffener would be good in there - might give it a bit of shape - I used some drapery weight material for mine - it was some stuff I had around. I'm glad you were able to print it out. I left out some words because there were pictures and that should be worth a thousand words... LOL

Here is how it should be laid out: [ATTACH=CONFIG]365876[/ATTACH] I wonder if there is a picture limit for each page on here - this is the same one that wouldn't show earlier.

I LOVE your Spartan!! My dad happened across one and they are gorgeous!!

This Spartan is very pretty but I think she needs a new box to sit in. I gave one to my DGDs - they all did a happy dance - they think it is way cute. I put a finger guard on theirs so they don't get inoculated by a sewing machine.

Please let us know where the pictures show up, so we can go view them. Thanks for the tutorial!

For some reason I can't open the attachments. Maybe it's just me. Anyone having the same problems?

I think you did great, and thanks for your effort. The final picture tells it all. It would help to know what we are creating at the beginning of the tute, but you did a great job of explaining and I applaud you! Thanks!

thank you i enjoyed this tutorial ,now need to make some for gifts
