I am taking a workshop to make the Noodlehead Cargo Duffel in a few weeks. The class isn’t just making the duffel, but we are making it with some hacks that Jaime figured out.
I spent a few hours the day after the BAMQG meeting familiarizing myself with the pattern and beginning to cut the pieces. There are A LOT of pieces in this pattern. Last Saturday and Sunday, I spent time cutting the rest of the pieces.
I now have to do the rest of the prep. This involves buying a couple of zipper and sewing bits and pieces together. There is homework because this is a serious bag and it can’t all be done in one day.
I am happy to do the prep even thought I was confused at the beginning. I think it makes for a better start for me once I am in the class.
I actually contemplated cutting out another whole bag so I could make two at once. I am trying to restrain myself. 😉
Ha! I am also contemplating a second one… Maybe we should just go for it? I will if you will.
I have to find more fabric! You are on! They make great gifts.
I don’t think it’s a bad idea to cut out a second bag. It’d be done so quickly, and you’d have 2 finished already. Don’t restrain yourself! :)))
I know. When I sewed the two Sew Together Bags at the same time, the time to make both was only slight longer than making one. Of course, I had one under my belt.
Exactly my point!
Still thinking about it. Cutting is such a chore and I still have a lot to do to complete my homework on the first one, so I will have to see.
I’m liking those fabric choices! Hope the bag goes together easily for you.
Me, too!
