FO(s): Two duffels

Quiltcon! It's here! By the time you read this, I will already be in Austin. I made a new duffel bag for the occasion, and an extra for my friend, Rhonda.

FO: Rhonda's Bag

I made this one for Rhonda. I used a Dear Stella print, Flea Market Fancy seeds, and a Stamped print for the outside.

Detail

I decided to use a little Aviary 2 for the inside, as well as some Innocent Crush woodcut and more seeds.

FO: Cosmonaut Duffle

As for my bag, I went with Cosmonaut Pearl Bracelets, a stripe from Out to Sea, and a pink/white pinstripe. Classy!

I used this Gingercake pattern. I really love the resulting bags. I had a little trouble with the pattern, but I definitely recommend it. Just be patient, and read through before you start cutting. I ended up wasting some fabric because of my hastiness. The bottom of the bag is quilted for durability, which I appreciate! I might add extra reinforcement in the sides next time, but other than that, perfection!

    I never would have thought o sew a duffle bag...these look pretty cool! Just curious...you said the bottoms are reinforced with quilting but are the rest of the bags pretty durable with just cotton fabric (I was thinking you'd use a linen or canvas or something...but what do I know!).
