Stash busting: Zippered bag




Since this is a stash busting project let's start with the fabric.  It's a home decor fabric that has been in the stash for at least eight years.  I know this because it was back in 2014 that I made this jacket with this fabric.  And yes, I still have some left over hanging out in the stash.  

This bag will be used on the back of a chair and has a zippered closure.  Easy peasy.  I just adapted the out-of-print (OOP) McCall's 4851.  The width at the bottom was shortened to three inches and the top was straightened.  The straps are sewn at the side seams and a zipper was added.   

 
Project Details
Seams:  2.4 straight stitch

Seam finish:  Serged

Fabric:  0.5 metres

Zipper:  51 cm (20") double ended

Twill ribbon:  0.70 metres


Pattern
:  OOP McCall's 4851

Additional Tool & Supplies:  Cutting table, fabric scissors, clapper (used as a weight), pins, tailor's chalk, ruler, sewing machine, walking foot, zipper foot, screwdriver, serger, new serger needle, thread clippers, threads, and sweet precious time to sew and enjoy part of an audio book.  

Happy Sewing!

Year in Review

Well, I guess I will start with some stats.  In 2024, I focused on two things, sewing from the stash and no more polyester.  Let's start...
