Coming soon: chalkbags!

I have this annoying helpful habit of seeing things and wondering, "how hard can that really be?" It makes for all sorts of entertaining adventures.

Like this most recent attempt at making chalkbags over at Club Workshop.

This fabric came from JoAnn, but I got some really cool Japanese cotton prints from Fancy Tiger that are going to make some badass crag bags.

This bag is a simple tube design with a fleece liner sewn inside. The cylinder is challenging because it's difficult to sew the bottom on, even though it was laser cut to the exact diameter I needed.

The second thing that was difficult was sewing on the belting to finish the top edge. I mismeasured and I think the thickness of fabric is a hair to much to fit under the foot. Hoping that someone that knows about these things can give me some advice.
