In preparation for QuiltCon I decided to make myself a bag for all those classes I had signed for.

Meet my Little Ninja Bag. We have a little Ninja girl on one side

And Kuromi (the evil Hello Kitty character and my little mascot) on the other side.

I have a double inset zipper on top and I kind of made my little ninja’s hold hands.

The inside has pockets (hard to see with this fabric, I know, but trust me, they’re there).

And there are some nice little elasticized pockets on the sides which are great for carrying water bottles of all sizes.

Here are a few process pictures of the pockets and bag as I was putting it together.

The bag pattern is from Craftsy, it’s called The Sweet Retreat’s Little Sister Tote Bag. The fabric is an old Robert Kaufman in a line called I am Ninja. The patches I got off of Amazon.

Of course with “some” of the extra fabric I made a matching zipper pouch

It’s rather roomy and hold all of my extra scissors and accoutrements. Yeah matchy matchy!

I’m learning just a little more with every bag and it’s so gratifying in between long quilting projects.
