After a few days of work for my shadow trapunto pattern, I felt the need to sew something. It seems that for me this is the season of bags. So I wanted to sew a new bag.
I layered some fabrics and started to quilt. But I couldn’t quilt at all ! I had just skip stitches and broken threads. It seemed that my sewing machine need a good cleaning ( after I tried, without success, to do other things to solve the problem ).
One thing I don’t like at my domestic Pfaff sewing machine is I can’t clean the machine myself. I need the help of my husband. There is not an easy access to all the areas that need to be cleaned.
To shorten the story, I had to sew something without using free motion quilting. So I made a bag using just a layer of fabric not quilted fabric I usually use.
And this is the bag:
I always loved a sturdy bag that keep its shape and stands on its own.
And when I finished my floppy bag I was sure that it will go to the trash.
But when I filled it with my stuff, I was amazed to see how nice the bag looks and how comfortable it is.
The fabric I used looks like the back of leather, it is thin but strong enough for a bag. I love it !
I love the fabric you chose 🙂
Very pretty!
Pretty fabric and a great shape for a bag.
I definitely need a bag class!!
Doesn’t look like your usual bags but it is still very pretty and looks very useful.
I love your bag. It turned out beautiful. I am making bags lately. I find your work inspirational. I am working on another bag today. My goal is to make beautiful bags like you do. Do you find your patterns on line?
Chiar ca arata foarte bine geanta aceasta ,in ciuda temerilor tale…
Felicitari!

What a nice girly bag this is. Lovely! Do you know what I do with my Pfaff when it needs a good cleaning? I have a sprayer filled with air, I can blow away all the dust in every tiny corner. Those airsprayers are also used for photocamera’s etc. maybe an idea for you, too?
Great fabric! Nice looking sized bag! 😎
