Yay, made it!

I settled in the end for a non-directional pattern and used a bottom fold (as it were ☺️)

OK it’s not perfect, and this is my perfectionist streak emerging, as the label is not exactly parallel to the side seam, so I guess my side seam allowance must have gone a bit awry, and I’m not happy with the stitching on the handles… But as Sazzie says it’s useable and that’s what’s important.

And I have another three cut out (from the same duvet cover, of course), pressed and ready to sew, so plenty more to practise on. And hopefully by number four I’ll have it cracked.

This is excellent! As is the other related post. Stand by for a first mors bag this weekend. (Now I’ve done it. I shall have to hope for bad weather on Sunday 😎)

Thanks everyone for your answers. It’s all helping and I feel I’m getting very close to my first morsbag. 😊

The question about the bottom fold vs seam is that my first fabric is a floral and so, with a fold, the flowers will be upside down on one side of the bag. OK so that could be a design feature, or my flowers could go sideways, but I’m sure I’ll work something out.

I expect my first will be a sort of private prototype and not one give away though! (So maybe I should start with a plain fabric…)

(looks like the forum didn’t like my emojis and truncated my post…)

I already have the fabric ear-marked. Some old curtains that were “too good to throw out” and some old duvet covers also TGTTO, plus various offcuts (so to speak). Can’t wait to get started, but I’ve a couple of projects to finish first so I shall have to be contain myself for now. 🙂

Thanks for the info – I’m sure I can’t have been the only one to wonder. (Maybe you need an “About Us” page on the website?)

There seem to be a couple of solo baggers in my area but I plan to make a few for friends and family first, and then maybe get involved with others – and maybe get others involved too
