Sew Together Bag + Finch Bucket

I've been spending my time at home in isolation during the CoVid 19 pandemic working on projects on my to-do list. 

I had purchased this pattern for the Sew Together zipper bag last year, and had an enjoyable day at my sewing machine yesterday making it up.

The pattern is by Sew Demented, and the construction details are very clever!

I sewed along with the YouTube video by Margaret Leuwen, and that made it very straightforward.

I decided to choose a fabric that I had used last year when I made my Finch Bucket knitting bag. Many years ago I had purchased a large lot of zippers from Zipperstop, and they came in all lengths and colors. This was such a good purchase for me, as I always seem to have exactly the zipper that I need! 

I made a few changes from the photo above: changed the colors of the zippers, and used a more stable fusible interfacing without adding the batting and quilting that I initially thought I would do.

I love my cute little bag! I know there is an adaptation to make a bigger one, so I just

might take a look at that sometime down the road. 

But, back to garments: pants today!!
