I finally finished my quilted duffle bag and can check this half completed project off my "To do" list. It has been sitting in my closet for probably three years and I decided it was about time I completed it.
You can find the pattern details in my previous post here... Duffle Bag.
What project of yours is taking up space in your closet? I would love to hear about it and maybe I have inspired you to break it out and finish it up.
Happy Sewing!

Great duffel! Ha! I've got so many projects taking up space I don't even want to think about it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful bag! Love the fabrics you used and your work is so neat and precise.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the finish! The more expensive sewing machines are soooo worth it!
ReplyDeleteI really like that bag! I might make one in the upcoming months!

I don't have that many projects hidden away, but I'm really hard on myself about finishing. I've made a few duffle bags for daughters-in-law. They've been clamoring for more in the last year, so I may try your design. I love those colors and the shape of your bag!
ReplyDeleteI had more and more projects hidden away. I have a list with all my WIPś and UFO's. That is because I see so much projects while visiting blogs.
ReplyDeleteBut since a few weeks I am hard for myself too. When finishing one new project, I have to finish an old one too. You should think that after a while there aren't UFO's left!
Lovely duffel, may be I finish one this week .......
Very nice! I have all the supplies to make the Weekender. Just need a little courage to start!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous bag! I love the size of it.
ReplyDeleteGreat bag! I am glad to see that you like the pattern. We made this bag at the Sew South Retreat and it gave a lot of us fits!
ReplyDeleteHow satisfying to get it done! Three years! I dont feel so bad now about the things I've had sitting here for a year.LOL!
ReplyDeleteWonderful duffel !
ReplyDeleteAlways a good feeling to complete a project. ;)

What a beautiful duffel bag and I can't believe you started it that long ago! Having a sewing machine that can go through thick layers is wonderful to have. My vintage singers are great for that. Thanks for sharing.

How practical yet cute!
ReplyDeleteGreat duffel - I just bought the pattern, now I'm excited to try it too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome bag! Could I take it for a 'ride' this weekend? :-)
ReplyDeletekudos to you for tackling a forgotten WIP. It's so cute! I really love the fabrics, and the addition of the burlap to the handles.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing at Needle and Thread Thursday, Candace!

Great bag! I might make a similar one for my niece for Christmas. What's taking up space? Oh, so many things. I just cleaned my sewing room and I am trying to knock things out. My goal is to have all my tops quilted before year's end. I would also like to have a pair of flannel tops that I have the blocks for turned into quilts for my grand nieces.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. So many practical projects, great work. Congratulations on your finish. Love the quilting. I agree with you about curtains, but somebody has got to do it, right? Thanks for sharing your success and inspiring so many people with your sewing.
