Will's Shore Thing Duffle

One more Christmas present is checked off my list :)  YIPPEE!!!!

My son asked for a duffle bag for Christmas. [The duffle is so big, he almost fits inside.]  He says he needs it for his sleepovers at his cousins house. [These two cousins would live together if they could.]  His birthday quilt matches it perfectly. [Check it out HERE.]


I used the same pattern for THIS duffle bag I made in November.


This is a cute fussy cut side pocket nestled in between the crabby straps.


The other side with another fun pocket.


Lots of lobsters protecting the main zipper ;D


Crabby zippered end pocket.


Boats floating on an ocean zippered pocket on the other end.


Here is the top shot ;D


I did a pixelated fmq pattern.


I really LOVE the lobsters!


I added two zippered pocket on the inside of the duffle.
One on each end.


I figured there can never be too many pockets.


The duffle is lined with black duck.
Nice and sturdy ;)


The fabric is an ensemble of Emily Herrick's Shore Thing and Going Coastal fabric lines by Michael Miller.

I am going to be pretty grouchy when this AWESOME duffle goes on it's first scout camping trip in a few years.  I am not sure that even a WHOLE can of Scotch Guard will help protect it from what the scouts will do to it :(

  3. What a super-duper FUN bag! I'm thinking the bag should go M.I.A. a day or two before any scouting trip. (trade out with an old army duffle bag). It's just too cute to be victimized by all the mishaps that can happen on a scout camp out. =P
