Follow my tips and do it in sessions, especially sewing those tubes together. Use a new (sharp!) needle and take a deep breath before the hardest bits. I only just rotated to a different bag for awhile so it's had a good test; it's totally worth a bit of tedious sewing for the end result!grendelskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953402811976296237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321939430089514451.post-12749417053887559152013-05-29T21:50:50.758-04:002013-05-29T21:50:50.758-04:00I just started quilting and found this bag offered...I just started quilting and found this bag offered as a class at a local sewing center.

The bags are really well constructed and I was very impressed. But I will take your suggestions to heart! I totally trust you! By the way, I love your version. The colors are totally me! Perhaps it was meant to be a gift... wink, wink... ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515452957964923679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321939430089514451.post-29640904474349859352012-10-04T12:20:02.081-04:002012-10-04T12:20:02.081-04:00What a great bag!

I've got a great big box of batting scraps. And your finished bag is really lovely!<br />I've never put a gallon of milk in my bag, but I could see doing it! =) Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11183068716476005136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321939430089514451.post-79986802763428407252012-09-30T16:15:52.502-04:002012-09-30T16:15:52.502-04:00LOVELY bag, indeed !

Great job, my friend !<br />I'm VERY intimidated with bags making and only start one when a sweet quilter friend sits by my side to guide me... but she's a seamstress, whereas I couldn't even sew a button before starting quilting - which makes all the difference ! ;>)<br /><br />ENJOY your sewing (and your bag!)<br />XOXOXOXOXO<br />NADINEAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321939430089514451.post-14218024220211136492012-09-30T12:40:27.368-04:002012-09-30T12:40:27.368-04:00Great bag, awesome post with all the good/useful t...Great bag, awesome post with all the good/useful thoughts.
