After being inspired by Mary Ray's presentation and workshop, it was obviously time for me to begin a project. While it wasn't a skirt per Mary's class, it was nice to work on a stash item. So I started on a pattern and pre-quilted fabric that I'd bought at the 2010 ASG conference. Let me just say that this pattern was not great--I found the instructions rather confusing. I started on it last year, got as far as zipper installation on the garment bag and stopped. Since I don't have grand things to say about the pattern, I think I will skip posting information about it.

| I modified the handles significantly. I cut them in half and installed at each end instead of having them placed in the middle. Hopefully, this will allow less garment wrinkling. |

| Tote bag, lingerie bag--both need buttons! Top right is a snappy bag which wasn't part of the pattern set, but something I learned to make through my local sewing guild. I can drive people up the wall rather quickly snapping my bag--fun! |
All in all, the set turned out nicely and I think I will enjoy using it--if I ever get to travel!
