Enigma Finish Line in Sight

Enigma Bag- just before finished
Enigma Bag- just before finished

I was only able to sew a little during the week, but I made some progress. A few minutes here and there do add up. The Enigma bag is almost done. I have a few more steps before I can use it.

It might be good for some of my bagmaking tools like the KamSnap. We’ll see.

At the moment it is still inside out and I have not yet installed the pocket in the center. I am eager to finish it and start another! I know I have a million projects on the go and another million on my to do list, but I’d like to get this right.

More Enigma

I worked hard on the Enigma in an effort to add my week 4 sew-a-long effort to the other efforts.

Enigma Zipper Pouch

One of the features of this bag is the interior zipper pocket. It is one of the first sewing steps and I am pleased with how it came out. I am not sure how this will come out, but based on what I know about this type of construction, I am happy with how it came out. I think the pocket is well prepared to be inserted into the accordion pieces.

I started to put the whole pouch together and found the construction to be really interesting.

Side panel with zipper

I like the way the bag, at this point, is hanging off the zipper. I still have to install the bottom at this point.

The Enigma Bag is part of the Minikins Season 4 group of patterns. Sara is having a Sew-a-Long for this bag. I missed most of the opportunities to post my steps as part of the sew-a-long, but I still wanted to make the bag. I started it yesterday.

I used some of the fabric I had Colleen quilt onto foam. It was a little hard to cut, but much easier to work with than having to quilt something on the spot.

This is an interesting bag. It reminds me of the Sew Together Bag in terms of the way it opens.
