Two friends and I got together in 2016 to sew Featherweight Bags, sewing with only our Singer Featherweight sewing machines instead of our regular machines. We spent a few hours having a lot of fun and getting to know our Featherweights, which we've had for years but haven't used very often. The two friends each have a black Featherweight in a black box, both from the 1950’s, and I have a white Featherweight (PA235963) in a green box from the 1960’s. • Large Bag size: 12.5 x 12 x 10”. • Drawstring Bag size: 10 x 7 x 3” (holds the foot pedal and cords). • Extension Table Cover size: 5.5 x 8”. • Tula Pink fabric with bunnies and ears for outside, and Tula Pink fabric with snails for lining. The pattern is "Sew Portable Travel Set" by Jeni Baker, published in 2014. If I ever do this project again, I will use byAnnie's "Soft and Stable" instead of batting - this way the bag will stand up by itself. I would also make the lining about 1/2 to 1" longer so that it turns into a self-binding top edge. I love sewing with my Featherweight! Peggy (Posted May 8, 2018)
