Moody Blues Duffle Bag with Tim Holtz Palette Fabric

Hello friends! Since I made a duffle bag using the warm colors I thought it would be fun to create one with some of the cool colors. I've used the Tim Holtz Palette Fabrics in Teal, Blue and Indigo for this Duffle Bag. The Pattern is by Knot and Thread and is beginner friendly. Don't let the zipper fool you it's pretty easy to install and Kaitlyn from Knot and Thread has videos to walk you through the whole process. 

This project is Fat Quarter friendly but you'll need yardage for the lining (blue script) and accent color (indigo vintage). 

The Moody Blue Duffle Bag

Fabric - Palette Fabrics in Teal, Blue and Indigo by Tim Holtz

Pattern - Patchwork Duffle by Knot and Thread

   Cut the squares from the 3 colors.        Arrange the squares as desired.     

Prepare your layers for quilting. 

Quilt panels as desired. I've quilted 1/4" from all the seams. 

Create the end panels as instructed. 

Add the binding and take a victory lap to seal the stitching around all the edges. 

I added a pocket to the inside.

                    Make the handles.               Sew the handles to the main bag piece.  

Install the zipper and don't forget to hold it in position with a glue stick.

This is a great tip for helping hold the zipper in place. 

Sew the ends of the duffle bag and use lots of clips or pins to hold it in place. Take your time and go slow. 

Attach binding to the edges on the end panels. I use a stiletto to help guide things into the sewing machine. 

And just like that your finished. 

I love how the blues work so well together. 

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Happy sewing!
