So I'm going on a road trip...

Makeup Bag 

 Everyone knows that a road trip calls for a new makeup bag, right? Right. I bought a pattern on Etsy, I'm not going to say which seller, because honestly, I HATED the pattern. Yes, I like how the bag turned out, but the process was much more complicated than it needed to be. Why do people write patterns like that? Maybe she didn't have a few people test the pattern? Maybe she did, but the pattern testers didn't give honest feedback? I will likely make the bag again but following a process that is easier and makes more sense.

Corner view

It's a decent sized bag, about 7" x 4". As you can see, you can put a lot of stuff inside!

Tomorrow I'm saddling up the Jeep, picking up Chelsea and we're heading out on the open road. The Portland Modern Quilt Guild is having their meeting tomorrow and we're crashing it. Shhhhhh.......

  5. Your bag turned out nicely despite! It's too bad the pattern was so hard to follow. Have you considered letting the designer know about your difficulties?
