Perfect opportunity to pull out my Weekender Bag that I made a year or so ago. The title to this bag is really misleading because you can fit so much in it. I'm an over-packer especially this time of year (weather forecast to go from mid sixties to forties in one day). I was able to pack enough clothes for five days! Plus all my hair stuff etc. I love the shape of it, and I get compliments on the bag whenever I use it.

The pattern is in the shop and online, click HERE to view. I am a much more advanced sewist now then when I first made this bag, and I was still able to put it together in a few days (nothing like a deadline to motivate you. I think I had bought the fabric and pattern months before but then had a looming trip and made it really quick) You'll definitely want to use a heavy duty needle and a good machine. I made this on one of those small Kenmore starter machines and I'm pretty certain it was the nail in it's coffin. That was fine with me I had been needing to move up to a bigger machine for a while anyway.

| This is the weekender that Sue made. She has such an eye for a modern look! |
This bag reminds me of why I love sewing so much. Such a unique and completely, Jessie, piece of luggage I couldn't have obtained any other way.
Love,
Jessie and Sue.
