Zakka Along Week 1 :: Zig Zag Tote
Whew! I totally didn't think I would get week one's project done on time for the Zakka Style Sew Along - the ZigZag Tote! But here it is, for better and for worse. I love the zigzag design, but not that a few zags are not as pointy as they should be. Not really sure why. Love the linen though, and the quilting, and the bag overall. The finished size is different than I expected. I reread p. 12, step 5 over and over, knowing that this was what determined the depth of my bag. Mine's 6" rather than the 3" in the pattern specs. So a book bag it's not, but it's still pretty darned cute.
Lovely bag Debbie - I was so tempted to buy the Zakka book at Spotlight yesterday:)
ReplyDeleteIt's a very pretty bag, but I had no idea it was such a little one! Kinda glad I didn't join in this week, I have enough bags that size!
ReplyDeleteThat IS cute! And what's that in the background?
ReplyDeleteYour bag is lovely!
ReplyDeleteI love your zakka-bag, it´s absolutly cut!
ReplyDeleteSure, bags are super useful whatever shape they are :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm currently working on 4 of them o.O I can't get upset that I'm not done on time though, it was a little absurd trying to hit 3 birds with that one stone lol
Very fun bag! I'm sure you'll find something to carry even if it isn't books!
ReplyDeleteAwesome bag, even if it is a little longer than planned!
ReplyDeleteI KNEW you'd get it done - LOVE that Loulouthi! I think you went back 3" from the point instead of back 1.5" - the distance back from the point is doubled across to give you your width. The book showed 3" across but didn't say 1.5 BACK which would have made it more clear. Still a wonderful bag!!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute, what a great use of Loulouthi, it looks great!
ReplyDeleteYour bag turned out great! So cute. :o)
ReplyDeletegreat bag debbie! love the loulouthi!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, even if it wasn't exactly what you planned.
ReplyDeleteStrange size difference. Still it's a cute bag!
ReplyDeleteLove your bag Debbie. I must get some of that light colored linen. The quilting shows up nicely on it.
ReplyDeleteWhen I made this, I thought the 3" seemed like too much to take in for the bottom, so I ignored it and did my own thing. Now after seeing Darcy's comment, I get it!
The instructions are a bit misleading,(3 inches from point) especially if you look at the pic too. Have a great week!
LOVE this bag! I'd be proud to carry it and fill it with whatever worked. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great! I thought about making one but don't think I need another tote bag right now.
