Who knows? I saw that someone online had resized a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.byannie.com\/project-bags-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Project Bag<\/a> to make it into storage for embroidery machine hoops. What a great idea &#8212; especially since I already had the pattern and most of the supplies I&#8217;d need.<\/p>\n<p>I may have mentioned in the past that I have very limited storage in my sewing room. While some of the hoops that came with my Bernina 790Plus have a dedicated storage space in my sewing cabinet, some just don&#8217;t fit, so I came up with a way to hang them. As you can see, it works; but there are definite disadvantages. First, this system isn&#8217;t very attractive. Worse, though, is the problem of knocking one thing off the hook while trying to get one that&#8217;s behind.<\/p>\n<p>So, reading about this idea of altering the Project Bag design to store hoops was very promising! I had <em>just<\/em> enough of a cute Tula Pink sewing machine fabric to make the lining &#8212; the part that shows through the vinyl. I had <em>just<\/em> enough vinyl for the front. I had plenty of the striped fabric for the rest of the pieces, but I was short of the Soft and Stable used to give the bag structure and shape, and I also needed a zipper. Naturally, it was the weekend, and my local quilt shop, <a href=\"https:\/\/quiltique.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quiltique<\/a>, was closed, but I tootled off as soon as possible and picked up what I needed.<\/p>\n<p>So here is the finished product, which stitched up quickly. I actually spent more time checking and double-checking my changed dimensions than anything else! \u00a0I&#8217;m showing the bag alone and also full and hanging in its handy spot.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0426.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-5095\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0426.jpeg?resize=216%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bag with purple fabric featuring sewing machines.\" width=\"216\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0426.jpeg?resize=216%2C300&amp;ssl=1 216w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0426.jpeg?resize=737%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 737w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0426.jpeg?resize=768%2C1067&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0426.jpeg?w=921&amp;ssl=1 921w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0427.jpeg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-5096\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0427.jpeg?resize=255%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Bag holding embroidery hoops.\" width=\"255\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0427.jpeg?resize=255%2C300&amp;ssl=1 255w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0427.jpeg?resize=870%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 870w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0427.jpeg?resize=768%2C904&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sandymike.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_0427.jpeg?w=1087&amp;ssl=1 1087w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve been on a roll making bags lately, but I think this may be the last one for at least a little while.
