How to Make a Tumbler Bag: Lesley's Layer Cake Project

Categories:

One of our fab customers, Lesley, has made this amazing tumbler bag — and we love how she's used her layer cake so cleverly to get the most out of every piece of fabric.

Lesley used the AccuQuilt GO! Multiple Tumbler 3½" die to cut her shapes quickly and accurately, then followed a video tutorial to construct the bag. Here's her tip for working with a layer cake:

I used a layer cake with my 3½" tumbler, so I cut the layer cake in half and placed it on the die covering two and a half tumblers, and then the other piece of fabric on the other end, so that I had half tumblers to place on the ends to straighten the edge without cutting a tumbler in half. I do like to save fabric where possible!

If you'd like to make one of these bags yourself, this is the video Lesley followed. It's a great project for using up layer cakes and precuts from your stash.
