You can’t imagine how excited I’ve been watching you all make this project and seeing the results with the photos. I know some have found it challenging and I appreciate that. There are always many ways to make every project, this method was just one of them. We love seeing the fabric collages and collections that everyone uses, especially those of you that have shopped your stash to make without buying (not to mention the repurposing and recycling of fabrics). Thank you all for participating and making this project such fun.
You can still purchase this duffle bag design and watch the video tutorial.
