Jumbo Sized

 

Sometimes I want to

try something new.

 

A gal brought this darling PETITE bag

 to quilt group (pic below).

It just stood up so straight and tall

 and was just a fun little size.

 

I totally wanted to make one.

 

 

She got me started on it - 

but then I had to go home. :(

 

 

The pattern is the Freeport Gatherer.

Good directions and there's a video online

that I watched 6 times.

 

 

Calls for Duet-Fuse-II fusible batting.

Worked great. 

Pattern and batting are in the shop

because I want to make more.

 

 

Well...I sewed and I sewed

and my petite little bag

turned out

jumbo size.

 

I probably should have counted

her strips, measured and perhaps

looked at the picture on the pattern.

 

Yeah.

  

 

Whoops!

But I love it.

It is a great size.

 

 

Pattern tells you exactly how to

make the handles,

no big deal.

 

 

 

 

Love my Minny Muu polar bears.

 

 

Perfect project for left over jelly roll strips.

 

This basket took half a jelly roll

and one bag of batting.

 

Looking forward to

paying closer attention

and trying again!
