A crescent shaped bag made of quilted horizontal red and white striped fabric with a beige zipper and beige straps standing on a table against a green spruce tree wall hanging.

Look I made a puffy bag! This is my third and probably best #bestiebag 🍿 Quilting the outer fabric really brings out the 🍌 shape. This time I also used a webbing instead of sewing the straps from the self fabric. What a fun make!

The same pieces but showing the other side on which the stitching lines and batting between the pieces are more noticeable.

I’m currently making a quilted #bestiebag by #bfpatterns 🍿 I found the outer fabric with woven red and white stripes at my local recycling center. It took a while to quilt all the pieces, but I really like the puffy result! I added extra 4 cm seam allowance because quilting can shrink the pieces.

A striped fabric with two magazines on top of it

An opened magazine with a picture of three women wearing colourful button-up shirts

A magazine page where a woman is wearing a white boxy collarless jacket

A page of a magazine where there’s a model wearing a 50s style wedding dress with little angel wings on the back

Recycling center finds ✨ I found a striped heavy cotton twill for 2 € that will be the most perfect #bestiebag 🥐 I also got two 90s sewing magazines with some great button-up, jacket and dress patterns. Can’t wait to try them out! #sewing #vintagesewingpatterns #thrifting
