I've begun with 2 fat quarters of orange batik backed with Texture Magic and free-motion machine quilted with a free flowing loops and pumpkin design. It looks really cool. But I want to turn it into something useful. So I've put them right sides together and sewed around 3 of the sides. Then I've done that trick in the bottom corners where you line up the seams to make a triangle and stitch a line across. Like this:
Then I did the same thing to the lining fabric, making it just a little bit smaller. I've added a strip of yellow fabric at the top to make an edging.
And here's how it turned out. Click on this final image for a great view of the bag. I had to wait til morning so the natural-light photo could bring out the color and the texture.

Great job on the Texture Magic bag. I love the colors you used.
I can totally relate to the directionally challenged part. I too, learn at a much faster speed by seeing than reading. We are visual learners.
That's fantastic! I also can relate to your directionally challenged comment, as I made a clock last week and put the 3 and 9 in the wrong places! Whoops!!
