UPDATED-to add link-This is basically how I made it using my own size and boxing my corners. Maybe this will help some of you that was interested. All seams are inside and clean finish-Toogie-I made this for an aunt of mine. She called wanting to come visit, maybe this Saturday, and I wanted to have a little something for her.The name is from Heartstrings.I thought she could put medicine in it. That's what I use mine for,because it is lined with the baby dry, that I use on the back of my bibs. It is very soft to the touch and also waterproof.I quilted it on the edge of the yellow stripes, just straight up and down. The top contrast I free motion stippled....They have always lived away and this is the first time they will be visiting. Do you have any quick ideas for Uncle? I could possibly make it tomorrow.

No compartments but you can make it the size you need. I will send you a pm, if I don't forget, or if I do send me a reminder.

crafters are always generous, enjoy giving gifts. your bag turned out so nice, really well done. for men, I like making shoe bags for them, for when they travel, or a tool rollbag, like the one used for pen holders or knitting needle holders.

Another excellent bag. I like that it stands by itself so that the top stays open.

I only went down an inch from the point, so the bottom is only 2 inches, but just enough for it to sit up. Thanks

Wow, das Täschchen ist zauberhaft geworden, super schöne Stoff Kombination und Farben, die Schriftzüge sind sehr schön, rundum sehr gelungen – Profi :-))) . Für Männer finde ich es auch immer schwierig, Taschen finden sie meist blöd, aber mit Schlüsselanhängern oder etwas für ihr Hobby kann man ihnen meist eine Freude machen . . .
Wow, the little pocket has become enchanting, really nice material combination and colours, the stroke are very nice, have succeeded around very much – professional. For men I find it also always difficult, pockets find them mostly stupid, but with key followers or one can make something for her hobby to them mostly a joy...

great job. did you follow a pattern?

1 comment
toogie by toogie 14 May 2015

Not really, and I wish I would write down what size I cut my pieces. I can give you a link to the basic way to sew one together (not ITH) on your sewing machine. The only difference besides the size probably, is the contrast piece and I boxed the corners. If you're not sure about boxing the corners, I could probably explain how. Go to inbox and pm me.

What a wonderful gift for your Aunt. She will love it. Perhaps Uncle would like one as well. It would look great in manly colours. Enjoy their visit. Hugs.

I plan on it, thanks. I don't have any aunts/uncles left on my mothers side of the family. These are my dads brother and his wife. My dads sister is the one who named me Toogie, she is still living. She is close to 90, retired nurse, still drives out of state (she lives in Texas).

lol about the fabric-Yellow band was a sheet I have been cutting on (remember Avery's thanksgiving bibs?) and the other print...remember the lady that is in her 90's, use to quilt, and family gave me the fabrics? It is from her stash. Cost me a 32 cent zipper from Wawak and less than a dollars worth of baby dry, I would imagine. Thanks for looking.

Yes, browns, plaids, boring men fabrics. Not that he's a boring man!

toogie by toogie 14 May 2015

Thanks Chris, I am considering that. I had told my husband that maybe I should do him a masculine one for his meds, as he has been going off and on to ER/Dr. and has to bring all meds with him. Not sure how much manly looking fabric I have on hand. I guess a block font would do if I do his name, Rodney.

joansatx by joansatx 14 May 2015

Do you have screening? Or clear vinyl with a band of fabric in a solid color? You do so much for so many. It's a blessing to know you even from a distance.

toogie by toogie 14 May 2015

Oh you made me blush, even at my age-lol-that's so sweet for you to say. I don't have either of these and looks like I may not be able to do any sewing tomorrow. My daughter just ran by and even though she is off on Friday, she is getting the kids rooms ready in the new house. I will have Nora again as she is still sick. She was better one day and now its back.
