I loved being able to sew the Simple Sailor Toiletry Bag in one afternoon and that everything was included. I simply grabbed my Sewers Club box and iPad mini (to watch the video), sat down to my sewing machine, and started sewing! 


Tips for making your Simple Sailor Toiletry Bag:
  • Read the pattern - fully colored with well drawn illustrations!
  • Watch the video - The video will walk you through each step so your project will be successful! Perfect for beginner and experienced sewers.
  • Use a walking/evenfeed foot. Perfect for the quilting and attaching the binding.
  • Use a 90/14 needle - the seams are thick when attaching the interior binding so the larger needle is great!
  • When attaching the binding - stitch slooooow so you don't break a needle.
  • Another binding hint - at the very end of the pattern when attaching the binding by the zipper - fold AWAY from the zipper.
  • I used the ENTIRE spool of Gutermann thread for this project (the dense cross hatch quilting takes A LOT of thread)

I LOVE the added cross hatch quilting on the bag exterior...it did take awhile and LOTS of thread, but definitely worth it! My lines are about 1/2" apart...I just used the edge of my walking foot to measure the spacing.


Of course you need a picture of the inside! I flipped the bag inside out so you can see the interior more clearly. No raw edges- the bag interior is completely finished!


The Simple Sailor Toiletry Bag was so fun to make and I can't wait to start using it!!! I just love using handmade projects!!! I can't wait to see what the Sewers Club July Project will be!
