There wasn&#8217;t a lot of exterior and there were some focus type motifs that I fussy cut in order to make the parts interesting.

I recently replenished by supply of vinyl. Mostly I like the <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\">glitter vinyl<\/a>, but this time I also bought some vinyl with stars printed on it. I like the glitter vinyl, because it doesn&#8217;t interfere with the pattern on the fabric. In this case, I used the <a href=\"https:\/\/sewhungryhippie.com\/products\/new-glittery-stars-transparent-vinyl?_pos=2&amp;_psq=star+vin&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">star vinyl<\/a> and I think it allows the fabric motifs to shine as well. The other thing I like about these two vinyl patterns is I can use every inch. I don&#8217;t have to worry about the motifs on the vinyl being in the wrong direction when the bag is finished.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_69088\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-69088\" style=\"width: 235px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251212_175830_wm-sm.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-69088\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251212_175830_wm-sm-235x300.jpg\" alt=\"Beth's Cosquilla: side\" width=\"235\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251212_175830_wm-sm-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251212_175830_wm-sm-768x981.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/20251212_175830_wm-sm.jpg 802w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 235px) 85vw, 235px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-69088\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Beth&#8217;s Cosquilla: side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The pattern had a really interesting piece for the bottom and the sides. It was a long oval piece that had to be quilted before cutting it out. There are fewer seams when one piece makes up the sides and bottom.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I really don&#8217;t know how Sara thinks of these bag designs, but I am constantly impressed. Having the sides wrap around the bottom\/sides piece was really clever.
