Beautiful bag! I going to bookmark this and try it with my next bag as I especially like how you did the zipper.

What an amazing way to turn your scraps into something good looking and useful! I love the patchwork nature of it and I have to say, that pic of the wavy free motion quilting prior to it being covered up would’ve made me consider simply using that white fabric with for the base rather than covering it up. It looks so neat!
Thank you for sharing the tutorial! This looks like it would be a fun project!

Wonderful scrappy bag-- the informative tutorial makes me think that I could make this, but my sewing skillz do not pay the billz. I’ll admire it and secretly dream about “someday”.

Thank you! White is my worst enemy, though. It always gets ruined. I used outdoor canvas for the bottom of my last two totes to avoid any dirt sticking.

Thank you! It’s not too much more complicated than a smaller zipper pouch.
