As part of a gift for a relative, I decided to make a pair of the Bendy Bags by Lazy Girl Designs.
Here is my effort:
I thought that they turned out fairly well even with the issues that I had. I am unsure of how long it actually took me to complete these little bags because I worked on them over a couple of days.
The fabric was a joke on my part. This particular relative had asked for $1M dollars and one of the bills on the fabric is a $1M bill.
I did draw out the pattern pieces for this project. I did cut out the pieces individually. Next time, I will stack all the fabric and cut out in one swoop.
Things that I found confusing in the directions:
1. The zipper - The instructions for the zipper application were good. What a found a bit confusing was that the supply list says that the zipper size is 14" or longer but the directions are written for a 14" zipper only. Once I realized that the zipper diagram was representing a 1" grid, I figured out how long the second cut on the zipper was suppose to be and where the stitching on the zipper was suppose to be. I also missed the bit about the zipper casing and had to redo that part.
I think that was the only part of the instructions that I had any issues with. Fortunately, all issues were correctable.
I may make these again. Little bags to organize stuff in are always needed.
Happy Stitching!
