Another project I finished for the holidays was a second Atlas Zipper Case. This one went to SIL#2. She is a Cal (UC Berkeley) alumna so the fabric was appropriate.<\/p>\n

As mentioned<\/a>, the pattern is from Center Street Quilts<\/a>. The second one went more quickly and came out really well. This is a really good pattern. I want to make more of them.<\/p>\n

I didn’t have quite enough of the Cal fabric. I bought 5 yards several years ago and I am down to scraps after this project. I found some yellows and blues that matched the Cal fabric colors perfectly. I went looking for more of this fabric, but aside from Spoonflower options, this particular print is nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n

This pattern requires quilting, as do many of the Center Street Quilts bag patterns. I learned a lot by quilting the other Atlas<\/a> and applied this knowledge to this bag. As you can see, I only quilted it intensely in a few places, not all over the whole piece. That technique made it a lot more doable. I like very dense quilting for bags, as you know, so I really had to restrain myself.<\/p>\n

I thought about making the privacy pocket (lower right) with vinyl instead, but ended up fussy cutting some of the Cal fabric and keeping it as indicated in the pattern for private items.<\/p>\n

The interior fabric on the top vinyl pocket is an older AGF fabric and it is just a little off of the Cal yellow. I like it as an addition so the whole bag too matchy-matchy.<\/p>\n

I think the most useful pocket will be the large vinyl pocket. It has a lot of space for various items.<\/p>\n

There are also slip pockets underneath all the pockets described, so flat items can be safely placed there.<\/p>\n

I did shorten the tail of the zipper. I had a longer piece than required and thought it would be fine, but it was really too long.<\/p>\n

All in all, this is a great project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
