When I was looking at what the vendors at the
Southern Comforters Quilt Guild quilt show I came across a fun little bag pattern that I wanted to try. This is the
Bucklebee Scooter Minibag. You can find your own copy of this pattern (non-affiliated link) on the
Bucklebee website.
I poked around in my collection of fabric and found a fun print and some coordinating solids.
I didn't used the recommended hardware, or strap directions because I have so many little bits of hardware from
Strapworks.com. I made up the right size for my hardware and got cutting, interfacing, and sewing.
The construction is pretty straightforward.
Turning went great once I pulled out this letter opener to help with the points and to help me get nice crisp side seams.
I used a Kam snap to close the flap. It was a great Sunday afternoon project.
Room enough to hold my ID, some money, and my cell phone.

I can't believe I *just* saw this entry! Speaking as the owner of Bucklebee, thanks for featuring our Scooter minibar pattern! As a fellow stitcher, what an adorable bag! Thanks again--Joan
ReplyDeleteI have struggled mightily with this pattern, trying to figure out what she meant for a couple steps, since there were no pics. I appreciate your pics! I think I can do this now; apparently I had too many pieces! hahaha
