How I Do This Thing (Not A Tutorial) - The Project Bag Edition
On my last Flosstube episode, I shared a project bag that I made and some of you expressed interest in the construction and measurement details. My goal was to create a bag that fit my project kit preferences (essentially being able to carry around a whole bunch of stuff without it turning into a giant mess - hence the pocket and floss drop loop) and that would efficiently use the materials needed without many unused off-cuts or scraps. If this sounds like something you might want to make too, check it out.
First and foremost, I'd like to credit Jenn Crafts, who made the project bag tutorial that inspired me to start sewing again. The foundation of the bag I'm sharing today was built on her design and techniques.
