Fabric - Spring House by Stephanie Ryan for Moda - 1 Charm Pack plus additional pieces for linings. I just used fabrics leftover from the Apron Knot Dresses since they were along the same color schemes. So total cost for fabric was really only $10 for the charm pack (depending on where you buy it). I also just used scrap batting that I already had. This is a bargain of a bag if you ask me (and Mr. Relish)!
Pattern - Dog Under my Desk - Two Zip Hipster - This pattern is awesome and she does an fabulous job giving all the steps and even a fabric cutting chart.
Hardware and Zippers - Here is where I bought my hardware and zippers.
Where the pattern calls for interfacing, I used cotton batting (Warm and Natural) instead. It made it a tad bit tricky to topstitch the top of the bag at the end because of the thickness but I muscled through. For the strap, the pattern calls for 6 inch thickness, but I wanted to use my charm pack leftovers, so mine was 5 inches thick and I just very carefully ironed it to make it 1 1/2 inch thick. It helped by cutting the batting exactly 1 1/2 inches to iron around. Hope that all makes sense! I used the same quilting method I mentioned in my previous blog post, quilted e-book cover. Here is the original source...Oh, Fransson!
Hope you enjoyed my post and please leave a comment if you like!
