The last time I worked on this project was with <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2019\/06\/progress-on-4-zip-organizer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gerre back in June<\/a>. Then, I quilted the pieces I needed to quilt and put it away to concentrate on Flying Around.<\/p>\n<p>Friday was the day. I started working on it and got excited about it again. This was one of the bonus projects for the Crafty Gemini Organizer Club. Ever since I started knitting the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purlsoho.com\/create\/2016\/05\/31\/lightweight-raglan-pullover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lightweight Raglan Pullover<\/a>, I have wanted to finish this bag, so I would have a carrier for my notions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47347\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47347\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190928_160958_wm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-47347\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190928_160958_wm-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"4 Zip Organizer: Long Handle\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190928_160958_wm-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190928_160958_wm-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190928_160958_wm-1200x1600.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47347\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">4 Zip Organizer: Long Handle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I decided to do some different things with this piece. I made a long handle put it all the way around the bag, so it would support the weight if I stuffed the bag full. It was kind of a hassle, because I forgot and sewed all the way to the edge. That meant I had to rip, but eventually I worked it out.<\/p>\n<p>Since this handle worked, I have more of an incentive to finish adding the handle to the All Rolled Up Tote. I know! Yes, that bag is still hanging around waiting for me to deal with the handle. Perhaps soon, now that I am on a Bag Binge.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47332\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47332\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190928_181727_wm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-47332\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190928_181727_wm-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"4 Zip Organizer: Thread Holder\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190928_181727_wm-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190928_181727_wm-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/20190928_181727_wm-1200x1600.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 85vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47332\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">4 Zip Organizer: Thread Holder<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I had to add a center facing anyway, so I added some thread holders. I learned how to do this by doing the same thing on the Running with Scissors tote. I thought it would make a good addition, especially since I had that seafoam elastic, thought I think it will only hold small Aurifil spools. I am able to also use that elastic feature for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00NTT5VWQ\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=artquiltmaker-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B00NTT5VWQ&amp;linkId=df557131a6e84cf16182477242d419da\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wonder Clips<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In making this, I found that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B07HHNGXM7\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=artquiltmaker-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B07HHNGXM7&amp;linkId=8a6b888467e97744633746964232431f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">large Wonder Clips<\/a> came in handy. I have only ever used them to keep my design wall under control, but they were useful in putting this bag together.<\/p>\n<p>I also added a pencil holder and a D-Ring to the bag instead of one of the pockets. I thought I would like to have a pen handy (and under control). Also, I think i mentioned, I am <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2019\/06\/finished-batik-chubby-charmer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">adding a D-Ring to all of my bags<\/a>, so I can move the small vinyl bags around as I fill them with critical supplies.
