No charms were harmed in the making of this bag!<\/p>\r\n

I bought this fabric at Pioneer Quilts, I think<\/a>. It is a Tim Holtz canvas. I like the color block pattern even though it has a lot of brown. <\/p>\r\n

Almost as soon as I arrived home, I dug out the Chubby Charmer<\/a> pattern and got to work. I have made several of these. I think I bought the pattern and made the first one in 2009<\/a>, which is still in good shape and serving as a collection point for interfacing. I felt like it was time for a new one. The pattern calls for a charm pack, but I wanted to just use one fabric, so I had to do some math. This is a pretty basic pattern, so I didn’t worry too much about exact numbers. Since I wasn’t sewing 50 charms together, the bag went together very quickly.<\/p>\r\n

I used a fun and favorite Philip Jacobs fabric for the interior. It is a little busy, but also light colored, so I should be able to find things ok.<\/p>\r\n

I put only basic pockets inside as I was lazy and didn’t want to spend a lot of time on the bag. <\/p>\r\n

I did add a leash so I may make a zipper bag to clip to the inside. We’ll see. I can also clip keys or whatever to it.<\/p>\r\n

While I was working on this bag, I realized that my stitch quality isn’t good on my main machine<\/a>. I need to figure out the problem. I am annoyed, because it was just serviced a few months ago. <\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
