Got some Jelly Roll Strips left over from your quilting project? How about making this charming slouch tote that is so much fun and pretty simple to make.
The finished measurement of this bag when lays flat is about 16" (widest point)x 11" although when you wear it, the center is going to collapse, hence gives you that attractive slouchy look. I used cotton batting for this bag, although other type of interfacing such as fusible fleece, thermolam, or felt fabric will work great as well.
This bag comes with 4 interior pockets (3 slip pockets and 1 zipper pocket), adjustable strap, and magnetic snap closure.
For this project I use these lovely Jelly Roll Strips by French General from Moda Fabrics.
From each Jelly Roll fabric, you will need to cut 10" x 2.5" (2x) strips and 5" x 2.5 (4x) strips
Below is the lay out of the front and back exterior shells
You can watch the full tutorial on my Youtube channel for the detailed patchwork piecing and the construction of the bag.

This patchwork double zipper purse is a practical and functional little purse that is sew-much-fun to make (pun intended).
It comes with 3 external pockets, and two internal pockets, and of course a zipper pocket. The finished measurement of this bag is about 9 1/2" x 10 1/2", a nice size to carry your necessities from wallet, phone, make up, sunglasses, etc.
For the patchwork you will need 2 1/2" squares in 3 different colors. This is a great way to use up some of those scraps, or leftover fabric, you can also use some fabric strips (jelly roll) one strip for each color will suffice for the patchwork.

This is another fun project using the oh so versatile jelly roll strips. The Jelly Glee tote is a charming slouch tote with quite wide base hence looking bucket-ish. To make the most of the patchwork fabric, I also include a cute matching zipper pouch that is perfect to put your cellphone, case, cards, etc.
Supplies
4 Jelly roll strips (2 1/2" strips) 3/4 yard main fabric Fusible woven interfacing (I use Pellon shape flex 101) Fusible Fleece (I use thermolam Pellon TP971F) 1 set of magnetic snap Nylon zipper (at least 7") - For the zipper pocket Nylon zipper at least 9" (for the pouch) Basic sewing notions Cutting Exterior Shell : See pictures below Interfacing : Cut two 18 1/2" x 17" (fusible woven interfacing) Cut two 18 1/2" x 16 1/2" (fusible fleece) Lining : Cut two 18 1/2" x 17" Slip Pockets : Cut two 10" x 7" Zipper pocket : Cut two 10" x 9" For the zipper pouch Exterior main : measure 5" from the left over jelly roll fabric and cut 2" (your fabric should measure 8 1/2" x 5") Exterior accent strip : 8 1/2" x 1 1/2" (cut two) Lining : 8 1/2" x 5" (cut two)
First thing first you will need to sew your Jelly roll strips together. I recommend to alternate the darker color from the lighter color, and of course you will need to sew them with 1/4" of seam allowance.
Measure 4 1/2" and cut, make 6x and you will end up with 6 rectangles measuring 8 1/2" x 4 1/2"
For the accent fabric you will need to cut as shown below
Then lay out the patchwork of the front and back exterior shell.
Piece your patchwork with 1/4" of seam allowance, and once you've done that go ahead and continue with the rest of the bag construction as shown in thevideo tutorial.
Once your bag is finished, you may go ahead and sew the zipper pouch. Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links, thank you for your support! Happy Sewing!!
This adorable Japanese knot bag will surely brighten up your day. Great for daily errands, coffee date, walk at the park, although this type of bag is pretty well known as the project bag.
The front exterior is made out of 14 pcs of charm packs (5" squares). Below is the diagram
I quilted this bag with left over quilt batting, and pretty pleased with the result, it gave enough body so my bag isn't too flimsy, yet still light weight to allow it to drape nicely.

If you are a quilter, the term "quilt as you go" might sound pretty familiar, and you probably have made a few project with that particular method, which simply means piecing the patchwork directly on the piece of batting.
I love using this technique to make small projects such as coaster (mug rug), placemat, table topper, and of course this adorable tote bag that I made using my favorite scraps.
