Ultimate Travel Bag

Led by Jayne Vetter

The Ultimate Travel Bag pattern designed ByAnnie. The perfect travel companion, this functional bag includes a comfortable padded adjustable carrying strap and quick-grab side handles, as well as a handy strap across the back to help secure the bag to rolling luggage. With a zippered and slip pockets on the front, back, and ends as well as a full zippered mesh pocket and three more slip pockets inside, the bag will keep everything organized and close at hand. This quilted bag measures 18 1⁄2”L x 13 3⁄4”H x 8”D, large enough & strong enough to carry a small sewing machine.

byAnnie’s patterns appeal to sewists of all ages and levels. However, this large bag is not a simple project and will require lots of homework. The detailed instructions can be a little overwhelming so let retired high school sewing instructor & Palmer Pletsch Certified Instructor, Jayne Vetter guide you in the construction & completion of this professional looking bag.

• Day 1 (2 hours) - Jayne will explain how to prepare fabric/stabilizer for quilting, give suggestions on quilting and the cutting layout. Homework prior to Day 2 will involve quilting foam stabilizer between two layers of fabric. After quilting follow the cutting layout for the quilted fabric and the coordinating fabric.
• Day 2 (4 hours) - Prepare bag parts. Homework will be assigned prior to Day 3.
• Day 3 (4 hours) - Sew bag together.
