I made another
Sew Together Bag. This time I used a scrap I got of Heather Ross's VW campers from Katy on Instagram. I thought I would probably hoard this fabric forever! Turns out I needed another bag for my sewing stuff so I decided to use this little scrap I had. And I was able to get 3 ~ 3 inch squares from the scrap. Pretty good, I think! I may have mentioned we used to have a VW camper years ago when my husband and I were dating. Well, it was his and then we started dating and it became ours, ha, funny how that happens! It was really fun BUT if you have or have had an old VW you know that you are working on it as much as you are driving it or more even. So eventually we sold it. Traveled cross country. Came back, my dad gave me his VW Bug and that's what I drove for years. My dad also had a VW Super Beetle that he got after he gave me the Bug. So you see, we really like Volkswagons! Well, I still like them but I'm not to sure about the Hubs! He's worked on them way too often I think.
I love this fabric and love my new bag just as much as my little Bug! I quilted some big stitches around each block and on the zipper tabs.
I wanted to keep the colors simple. For the sides and binding used some hot pink gingham and hot pink Swiss Dots both by Riley Blake.
For the inside I used the Swiss Dots again and Moda's Dottie Tiny Dots. I got the tiny dots from
Shay's shop Simply Sweet Fabric. I'm pretty happy I didn't break any needles this time. My walking foot fell apart though so I have to work on that. Now, to go fill 'er up and get back to work!!!
Happy Sewing!

This is the best sew-together bag e.v.e.r. I love it!
eeek, what a beauty. Love everything about this bag. Can I ask what you used to interface the outside of the bag?
Love your sweet, little bag! Thanks for sharing.
This is the cutest bag EVER!! I have a soft spot for VW's too. Nothing will ever take the place of my Blue Bug,,,I had to push to start it but it never let me down, I just parked on a slight hill where ever I went, haha!! Thanx for sharing.
so cute! The details are just perfect!
Oh my word, I LOVE this, Erin!! I'm a huge fan of that print in all colorways, and I just love the hand stitching on there too. Genius!
What a sweet bag! I love every part!
This is the loveliest, cutest version by far! Love the handquilting and the dots!

Good grief, woman...could you do cuter work? As you know, I love every single thing (every!) you make! Looking forward to your book.
Love how it turned out!! So pretty and all the details are so perfectly sweet!! I'll have to put this on my list, but it looks a little complicated for me. ;) xo Heather
Love this bag. Might be my favorite sew together bag!
so adorable .. the fabric you use are just perfect, Erin..
Gorgeous bag. We did the same thing with the VW camper, when we had it people used to wave and come up and say that they used to have one. But the money and time to fix it was too much, so now we have a newish vw camper!
OMG! I love this right down to the little gnome inside!! My daughter and her husband drive nothing but VWs, and they both love gnomes and have them here and there in their house and garden.
So so cute!! I love this, it looks so perfectly sweet! And I love those pockets on the inside, I'm a pocket, keep your things organized kind of girl! :) Darling!! Have a lovely day! xo Holly
This is the cutest bag ever! I love it! I finally broke down (like the van? LOL!) and bought the Sew Together bag pattern from Sew Demented. I have printed it out and am now mulling over what fabrics to use. Did you see the free Tula Pink VW van pillow pattern on her site? She re-posted it on IG and FB today. That's cute too!
The most precious of little pouches. I have seen these around and they look difficult?
I am in love with this little bag!
Love this bag...one of my favorites! I love the fabrics used..It is so sweet!
This is adorable. I especially like the hand-stitched details.
Well this may be one of the cutest things I've ever seen!
