Still, life gets in the way.<\/p>\n<p>I have so much more experience now with bags. I suspect that Vanessa, of Crafty Gemini, does as well and she would make these projects differently if she were designing the club again.<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t used all of the projects. For some reason, I was saving them until all were done. I don&#8217;t know what that was about, but I am going to put them into circulation.<\/p>\n<p>I keep looking at the Zip Away Organizer and thinking that the construction is similar to the Day Trip Wallet from Sew Sweetness. The Day Trip Wallet is a project I have been putting off because of the tight curves required in the construction.<\/p>\n<p>These are the projects in gallery form.

I think I will make the Project Bag again, but with some modifications. I am finding project bags to be very useful. Not only do they use up fabric, but they keep all the pieces and parts of smaller projects together.<\/p>\n<p>I won&#8217;t make the Road Trip bag again, though I like the size. It is very similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/tag\/i-spy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I Spy<\/a> pouches from Sew Sweetness and I like the I Spy pattern better. I like making a window of the vinyl and not having it in a seam that needs to be turned. Of course, I have <a href=\"https:\/\/sewhungryhippie.com\/products\/glitter-vinyl-see-through-with-subtle-glitter-sparkles?_pos=1&amp;_psq=glitter&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">better vinyl<\/a> now. I do like the leash on the Road trip bag, but I don&#8217;t like it next to the zipper. In fairness, I could have put it on the wrong side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After finishing the Retreat Bag on Friday, I have FINALLY finished all of the projects in the Crafty Gemini Organizer Club.
