Would you please share what type of batting you used? I am looking for something that is sturdy but easy to turn. Do you think interfacing would help to make it stay open but not to stiff? Arthritis in the hands keep me from making bags. I just love them ~ so fashionable! Great job and thank you for doing this!!

THANKS !!!!! Great tute.

Great tutorial. I was planning to make some "sandwiches" to practice FMQ but hate to waste the fabric and batting. Now I'll make them this purse size and have a project ready to go with no waste. Thanks so much.

Thank you!

Great instructions...
and I love your policeman...I used to have one just like him. Yankee died more than 15 years ago, but I still think of him and Charlie (white sheppard) frequently!!!
Thanks for tuteing us!!!

Saved it....thanks so much.

Pictures are worth 1000 words. But you supplied both. :)Thanks so much. Will book mark for later.

Thank you for this tutorial.

I love your quilt police!

Really great tut, I am bookmarking this one. I really like that the inside also has a nice finish.

Plan on trying this! I needed the zipper info. Looks like you have made it a simple process.

Great tute. Thanks

Thank you so much for the tute. Love your helper.

Blessings and happy quilting :thumbup:

Thanks so much for the tutorial. You did a marvelous job.

I never knew that trick about cutting out the square in the corner! This is a nice way to get the lining and the bag done at one time. Splendid!

Thanks so much. That looked like a lot of work for you to post all of this but I truly appreciate it. Keep up the good work

Excellent tute!!!! Thank you

Well how cute is that. I just did one with way more steps and more pockets but yours is so much easier and my pattern never told me to snip out the corner for the bottom like you did. that would create much less bulk when sewing across. Thanks. so much for this. I am going to try one in a pre-quilted piece I have that is burgundy. I just need to find the strap and contrast for the pockets. yours is so cute with the stripes. Thanks.

Thank so much. Very good.

Thanks for the tute. You make it look so easy. And your "quilt police" dog is beautiful!

You may not see this to answer, but I have a question.

First of all the bag is lovely - all of them. But is there only one strap? If so the bag will hang funny won't it, when there is any weight inside?

Your tut is very well written and easy to understand. Thank you.

In the tutorial I saw it said "straps" (plural) but you are right it only shows a strap on one side. It has to have 2 or it will not hang right. Also I add long enough straps (in purses not bags) to go across my head to the opposite shoulder and it stays put and eases my neck and frees my hands. I make them all that way. :o)

WHAT WONDERFUL TUTES...BETTER THAN ANY PATTERN I COULD HAVE PURCHASED. I'VE BOOKMARTKED IT! MUST TRY THIS ONE SOON...MANY THANKS FOR SUCH A GREAT JOB!!!!!

thank you for the tut, I cannot wait to try...

These are all so wonderful...I will need to try one

Great job and pics. Thanks I will do this one soon. I LUV quilt board. :thumbup:
