Every time I quilt something I am grateful for the sewing machine I successfully use for free motion quilting. I am grateful to two men. They did not even know what quilting was but they recommended me and brought my dream sewing machine to my home. It happened a few years ago. In a few occasions I told you about my sewing machines, these days I try to put together a “recipe” that will make you fall in love with free motion quilting.
So I stitched these thinking of them!
I used this pattern, but without thinking of measurements. I randomly cut pieces of fabric, added batting and quilted.
Then I added the zippers…
…and then I created the wide boxed bottoms, cutting away 2” and 2 1/2” squares from the corners. I love this shape.
And these are two quilted drawstring bags; I thought that it is so easy for a busy mom to wash these bags. As they are quilted, they don’t need pressing!
Sometimes batting is better than interfacing!
Will be waiting for the story of the two men and the dream machine that came to your home. Sounds interesting!
Enjoy seeing your little bags
Those little pouches are great to experiment FMQ pattern on. I want to hear the story of the two men too!
You quilted adorable little things!
Have a great weekend too, Geta!
This is just fantastic.
