A Scrappy Cargo Duffle bag
I don’t make bags often, but when I do–I go all out.
I gathered my happiest scraps–I’m ready to make a Cargo Duffle bag. Pattern is Noodlehead’s free Cargo Duffle pattern for Robert Kaufman’s site.
I made pinwheels, quarter-square triangles, and basically just stitched all sorts of scraps together and quilted them onto batting scraps with straight lines before plugging them into the pattern. It was a fun improv quilting activity. I also omitted the exterior pockets.
The fabric is [primarily] It’s a Hoot by Momo for Moda + a cute text print called “Sun Print 2019″ by Allison Glass for Andover Fabrics + Essex Linen by Robert Kaufman.

December 19, 2013 at 9:40 pmOh my goodness! I LOVE how you used scraps and made your own fabric. I am expecting Baby #3 in February and must sew a bag like yours for my hospital bag. Thanks so much for being an inspiration to me! Congrats on the fabric line as well. 🙂
