Sedona Duffle Bag

I call this the Sedona Duffle bag because I purchased the beautiful batiks in Sedona, AZ! I saw the green color and it was so vibrant and I also found a nice blue and green batik as well.

I strip pieced the exterior and used various colors of thread and also a metallic thread. It has a round bottom and I made a drawstring closure at the top. There are two interior pockets that close shut with Velcro and one pocket from a pair of denim jeans. I have used some repurposed denim in this project to make it even greener!

I have added my "Shaggy Rag" accents on the bag and also on the strap. I think the strap looks really lush with the detail. I added a reflective buckle because we like to hike and bike.

I will be making more of this style bag a little longer and thinner to accommodate yoga matts.

Shaggy Rag Wristlet and Wrap

Here are some photos of the finished shaggy rag wristlet and wrap that I made. The wristlet is fully lined and I have sewn in a zipper. The wrap has a 21 step color range. Please enjoy the photos and also stop by www.rubymountaindyeworks.com to see more of this wonderful fabric! I will be making more of these bags in the near future with machine quilted sections and the shag accents.

Almost Finished Shaggy Rag Wrap

Here is a photo of the almost finished piece. I still need to do some fluffing, trimming of stray threads and primping!

Shaggy Rag Wrap!

I have been working on a shaggy rag wrap for a gal in Florida. The various photos show the cut strips of fabric, assembly and the shaggy rag before and after machine washing! These pieces are just pure fun!
