Side Tracked


Several of my quilty friends have been showing off these zippered bags.  Of course, nothing would do but that I made one too.

 


This was the result of my efforts.  I had been cautioned that the instructions for the zipper were counter-intuitive, but I lucked into a tutorial on YouTube that helped a lot.

 


One of the appealing features of this bag is that when it is open and the sides are turned down, you have easy access to the contents. It took a lot longer to finish than I expected.  My seam ripper and I bonded over the experience.  This week I hope to return to my regularly scheduled projects.


 

We spent Sunday in New Braunfels celebrating our grandson’s 22nd birthday.  Such fun.  He heads back to Texas A&M this week for what may be his final two semesters.

 And…it begins again!  I'm pretty sure I'm addicted.

What a nice project to get sidetracked on! Love that bag, and it looks perfect for the contents. Lol on bonding with the seam ripper. :)
