\"My<\/a>
My extra large project bag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finished the Project Bag that has been on my list for a long time. Or what feels like a long time. The last time I posted about project bags<\/a> was a year ago and I was thinking about making this project bag.<\/p>\n

This bag matches the one I made for myself in November of 2023<\/a>. <\/p>\n

I wanted to make sure that the zipper tape was covered. The ByAnnie patterns don’t always take care about that and it is a particular annoyance of mine. I know it doesn’t really matter, but I like the zipper tapes completely covered, even on the inside. <\/p>\n

\"My<\/a>
My extra large project bag-back<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

MaryC uses a technique where she folds a piece of zipper tab fabric in half and slips the zipper tape in then sews and folds the excess back. I tried that this time and found it worked well. My only problem was that I made the piece too small in width. I had to add an an extra piece on top to close the gap. Still I liked the technique. I just need to figure out a better size for the zipper tabs. I think I might have read the pattern wrong and reading it correctly might help. We’ll see if I make this bag again. I think I have enough project bags for the moment. I don’t want too many as it will encourage UFOs.<\/p>\n

This is #9 on the guild UFO challenge<\/a>. I’ll bring it to Sew Day to show off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
