A RAINY SATURDAY PROJECT

It is a rainy Saturday morning and I want to do something fun, easy, bright and cheerful.

The first Zippy, Strippy Bag I made was very bright yellow with fish print fabric.  I made it in my Friday morning Bee Friends quilting group.

Today I am looking for something out of the ordinary.

I have a collection of selvages that I have saved for a long time just waiting for a project to make with them.  Today is the day to pull them out.

 I sorted the selvages first.
Then I collected my pattern, zipper, and lining fabric.

Then I pressed the lining to the fusible fleece.

It seemed like it would be a better idea to attach the selvages on the diagonal.

Two panels completed.

The purple dotted fabric looked so cute and funky when I added it to the selvages.

While I was at the machine I decided to do this one in Batiks.

On this one I put the contrast piece on the bottom.

These are very addictive.  Now I want to make some more.  Ideas are flying around in my head for color and fabric combinations.

Yes, it made the rainy day go by faster and I hardly noticed the rain that made yard work impossible today.
