It's a pretty bag but no way would I make something like that for sale. Just the cost of an entire jelly roll not to mention the fusible batting used you would never be able to charge enough to just break even.

But, be a neat way to reduce your stash and make a scrappy bag.

Because she is selling the duofuse, but a search on computer should bring up sources.

Saw a different technique, same results at the Paducah Quilt Show. The lady took clothesline and wrapped the 2" strips around it as she did the same sewing - zig-zagging it in the circle or other shape you wanted. It was beautiful and looked really easy. I don't know if there is a tute for that method.

With the Hobo bag, you don't make the continuous tube, but do each strip separately, then arrange them in the order you want them and sew them together. You end up with a flat piece that you then shape the sides and make a channel for the handles to go through. The pattern instructions are very easy to follow.

Joysewer - If you used warm and natural, did you use a spray glue to bind the batting to the strip? Or did you just lay it on the strip and fold it in?
Thanks everyone for your input, I appreciate it!

The Crafty Gemini, Vanessa, has a tutorial on her youtube channel showing how to make a basket using the cording (like a thick cotton rope) and wrapping strips of fabric around it and stitching together similar to this method. Cutting all those strips of fusible batting would drive me nuts. The one that Vanessa makes uses up scraps as opposed to buying an entire jelly roll to make it. One of these days I'm gonna try it.

These are great ideas! Thanks, everyone!

What do you think the difference in weight and softness would be? I.e.: would the rope one be heavier and less soft? That might be a consideration for me if I were to make one.
