Initial tests / Erste Versuche
Some time ago I received two sample books as a gift from an upholstery company. These fabric samples are slightly larger than letter format and come in very different colours, patterns and materials. I want to sew some project bags for my knitting and crochet projects.
Ich bekam vor einiger Zeit zwei Musternbücher geschenkt aus einem Polstereibetrieb. Diese Stoffmuster sind etwas größer als DIN A4 und in ganz unterschiedlichen Farben, Mustern und Materialien. Ich will mir daraus erst einmal einige Projektbeutel nähen für meine Strick- und Häkelprojekte.

These are my first attempts. I haven't sewed for a long time and I have to find my way back in. The shape of the bag is simple. At the bottom the folded corners (no idea what they are called or if there is a name for them at all), they make the bag stand by itself. The bags will be lined and have a zipper at the top. At the moment I'm helping myself with a simple drawstring and a cord. The next step is the lining and then I have to teach myself how to sew in a zipper...
Dies sind meine ersten Versuche. Ich habe lange Jahre nicht mehr genäht und ich muss mich erst wieder hineinfinden. Die Form der Tasche ist an sich simpel. Unten die eingeschlagenen Ecken (keine Ahnung wie sie heißen oder ob es da überhaupt einen Namen für gibt) damit die Tasche einen flachen Boden hat, dann soll sie gefüttert sein und oben einen Reißverschluss haben. Im Moment behelfe ich mir mit einem einfachen Tunnelzug für eine Kordel. Das mit dem Futter kommt als nächster Schritt und dann muss ich mir wohl das Reißverschluss-Einnähen beibringen...

Die Tasche oben mit der diagonalen Naht sieht zwar gut aus, besonders die Ecke unten gefällt mir - aber da liegt der Polsterstoff durch diese Nähte 8-fach. Das passt bei der Nähmaschine noch ganz knapp unter den Fuß, aber es wird nicht mehr transportiert und so gibt es keine sauberen Nähte. Also in Zukunft so nur noch mit dünnerem Stoff.

Overview of the fabric samples / Überblick über die verschiedenen Stoffmuster
Below some details of a bag: Top left a bag from downside, right next to it a corner. Due to the type of the corners you can wrap the bottom (bottom right), the picture at bottom left shows how the wrapped bag looks from the other side. You can fold the bag easily or store it flat to save space.
Unten einige Details eines Beutels: Oben links ein Beutel von unten, rechts daneben eine Ecke. Durch die Art der Ecken kann man den Boden einschlagen (rechts unten), links unten zeigt wie der Beutel dann von der anderen Seite aussieht. So kann man diesen Beutel gut zusammenfalten oder platzsparend flach lagern.

What's on my needles
- There is 5 g left of the first skein (of 4) of my Estuary shawl.
- I've knitted a bit more than a third of the Silver Screen Scarf.
- The Cool Clavicle Cover is in its fifth pattern repeat, probably half done - I don't know how long I want to make it.
- I crocheted several of the spiral scrubbies I showed in my last Needleworkmonday post.
- And - oops! - I started something new. A friend of mine has a new baby daughter and I'm knitting a cardigan. Pictures next week!

I love that contrast in patterns and colours!
These will make really beautiful and handy bags :D Love when items are not only practical but lovely to look at :) brightens up the day :)))

Nice use of the fabric samples. And I like that they can be flattened for storage.

I like that the bags stand up due to the corners.
Thanks for sharing

I totally love the way these project bags look with that upholstery material! They look so solid and sturdy and the pattern designs on the fabric are very pretty.
I look forward to seeing how your experience with the zipper goes. I admit I’ve held off a little on going to sewing class because next class I’ll be sewing that zipper on. 😬🥴😅
But thanks to @apanamamama’s post today, it reminded me that time is ticking and her baby will be here soon. The bunting I’m working on is now for her baby! 😃

There are some lovely fabrics in your samples. I like the design of the project bags, the folded corners allow room to expand for projects and lay flat for storage. Excellent :)
You are enjoying your sewing machine :)

knitting bag for projects is wonderful! I carry my projects in a package and it is not very convenient. Packages are torn, I replace them with new ones and so on all the time. very interesting what kind of yarn you chose for a cardigan :)
