I made good progress over the weekend on my ongoing project. I finished all the ‘panels’. After all the work, they are combined into the 3 panels: front, middle and back, which are 2-sided.
With the panels done, I can now start assembling the bag. The first thing was to make the zipper gussets. I started over the weekend, but then, almost immediately, had to rivet the D-rings. I haven’t done much with rivets in the past, but I think that this bag will get harder usage and my machine is struggling, so off I went to MaryC’s again for more rivets.
The zipper gusset is one of the largest I have made. Fortunately I had enough of zipper by the yard (from my various purchases at Sewlarium) to use for all of the small and long zippers.
I am excited I am nearing the end.
