UPDATED BELOW-Hi Cuties, I made this huge bag today, but excuse my blue marks, I haven't spayed out my quilting lines/marks yet.





I have been having this brown vinyl and wanted to try a bag with it. Well, I got a little too carried away with the size, although my sister would like it, the bigger the better for her.-lol-




Since the fabric was already a pretty design and I don't know who will get it, I didn't embroider anything. As always, I have made plenty pockets on both front and back, of the inside, and 1 zipper pocket on the outer back. I also thought to put a ring to attach keys inside. However, I can't believe I forgot my name AGAIN!!!....... UPDATE-I have embroidered my name on the back of the large bag. I put my hoop inside the back pocket, but it was not easy, so it's not as good as it could be. Also, I have made a matching case to go inside or with it. I couldn't hoop the little one though, as I forgot AGAIN to embroider before making it.-- I decided to add more vinyl, by making the zipper pulls out of it instead of the fabric. Hope you like the changes and the additional case.

I think it is the perfect size for me! Would you like to share how you stitched on the vynal? Neele type? Size? Stablizers?

I didn't use any stabilizers, needle was a 14 size, I think. The vinyl was no problem at all, although this was my first time to sew it.

Sew very snazzy! This is just perfect for on the plane or any sort of trip where you need a few things close. You know, Suduko book, snacks, hand wipes, lotion, maps, all the stuff ya gotta have. This bag would be perfect for that. You've done it again. Lovely.

Thank you Sharon, my shoulder hurts just thinking of all the stuff we carry in them.-lol-Glad you like it!

I see you have your priorities right Sharon. Sudokobook and pen would come first for me too.

I have a small piece of vinyl left. I may try to use it on an ITH zip bag but can't today. I'm at Ashley's house with the kids- they had a bathtub refinished and are gone to pick it up- she showed me photos on her phone and it's beautiful!-

I may can still sew it on an inside pocket, but it may be off set, but too late for the outside. Thanks and I did put it on the smaller bag/case I made this morning. Yea!!!

toogie by toogie 28 Feb 2017

Do you see the change?!!!-lol

Toogie, I can promise you that anyone receiving one of your fabulous bags will NOT forget your name, even though you do. :)
I love this bag, but I tend to keep putting too much stuff into a big bag and it gets heavier and heavier, causing me to have to clean it out too frequently.

I do the same thing and that's one reason I prefer a smaller bag for myself.-and lately one that straps to me- I forgot it twice in public places lately!!! Thank God, I got it back both times, everything intact.

You are welcome to! I like the vinyl bottom...I guess it slouchy because it's so large.

I know I'm always saying I got a good deal on fabric. Well, I did. This print was $1.50 a yard and 60 inch wide! I bought the rest of the bolt, which only had a little over 4 yards. I think I may make a hobo bag too...what you think?

Toogie, all your bags are great. Sandra.

toogie by toogie 28 Feb 2017

I should have had a pattern, as I got it pretty big. You like big bags? My sis sure does. I made it up, can't you tell......my friend says, " will be good for a trip" so I said, "Let's go!"-lol
