I’m way behind on all sorts of things – house cleaning, laundry, writing Christmas cards, answering emails. You name it and it’s waiting to be done. Today I just had a what the heck<\/em> moment and decided that what I REALLY wanted to do was have a little go at making one of the Zippy Strippy<\/em> bags by Atkinson Designs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had ordered a jelly roll of Bliss<\/em> by Moda, which I just love \u00a0– and here is my first bag! I know it won’t be my last – it was such fun to make, looks super-professional IMHO and really was done in a jiffy.<\/p>\n

This is the medium sized bag – it measures \u00a09.5 in x 5.5 in x 4 in or 24.5cm x 14cm x 10cm if you’re metric. There are larger and smaller versions too. This is a perfect project for jelly roll strips – which by coincidence (!) are just the right width and even better, are a fabulous way to use up all those cut-off pieces of batting left over from quilts. The pattern uses fusible fleece – which I somehow think is probably unobtainable here. I used regular batting and it worked just fine!<\/p>\n

I started out thinking that these would make great presents – and they certainly would, don’t get me wrong – but I think I’m going to make myself a set first. That way I can be well-practiced when I come to making presents. (That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!)<\/p>\n
