TODAY I AM DOUBLE STUFFED!

Thanks for hopping by to see my block for the 
30 days / 30 blocks hop 
hosted by Carla at Creatin' in The Sticks.
I told her I could do any day, any block
Sew today...my block is the..

"Double Stuffed" block

I am on vacation so needed to use scraps I had on hand!
Made me think outside the box because...not that many scraps!

It was a simple block...3 pieces


I didn't want to fall asleep while making this simple block!
I decided scraps can make it more fun and I can make 2 blocks
for my project!

I made "scrappy" centers!





Top and bottom pieces are the same fabrics, but till scraps.


I had enough scraps to make two Double Stuffed blocks.
Laid them out different ways to see what will look
best for my project.

Horizontal 

or Vertical

or how about one each way?


My project is a zipper pouch so I am going with
Horizontal Scraps in the middle of each block.

  I had to piece the lining to make the size of fabric I need.
Remember ...scraps!


My go-to zipper pouch is the Wide Open Zipper Pouch by Noodlehead and you can find her free tutorial here.

Once the 4 pieces are made
I used SFS 101 interfacing for the lining and 
Fusible fleece for the outside fabrics.
 Sew in the zipper.
BUT***This pattern has a unique zipper technique that 
makes this the OPEN WIDE bag that it is!
Details on the tutorial.



For a tighter fitting lining...trim the lining pieces down about 1/4" 
I do this after the zipper is sewn...to make sure all is well and
lined up nicely. 
3/4" seam allowance to sew it all together
(see tutorial for details)


TIPS: I use a jeans needle when making bags.  
For the top stitch I set a straight stitch to at least 3.0 
and use my open toe pressure foot.  
It sits snugly and the inside of the foot/toe
is my guide as I "slowly" stitch all around the bag.
If you have a free arm sewing machine as an option...its a breeze!



And here is my Double Stuffed Block zipper pouch!
It's also my giveaway!

  2. Double stuffed Oreos are too sweet for my taste. I like regular Oreos; they are the best! Cute pouch!

  4. Sweet bag! Love the scrappy centers on the blocks! I prefer regular Oreo centers--the double centers are too much of a good thing. Thanks for sharing!

  5. Oh your bag is fabulous! The scrappy center is definitely more interesting than the plain one. No double stuff oreos for me, but I do like the regular ones. And the mint ones are good too.

  10. Double Stuffed looks great with a scrappy center and I love making zipper bags with blocks. They are so much more interesting than just a piece of fabric. Thank you for hopping along with us in the 30 Quilt Blocks in 30 Days Blog Hop.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I like that you did the scrappy center on the block. Very effective.

    Thank you for the link to the tutorial. I am just now getting up the nerve to try zipper pouches and this one looks pretty straight forward for a beginner.

    I am not a fan of sandwich cookies of any kind. . . I prefer chocolate chip or snickerdoodles.

    Have a lovely day.

  21. Thanks for the wonderful idea to use up scraps. Great use of scraps. I’m a Canadian but had to comment.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Great use of both your scraps and this very simple block. You took simple and made it fabulous. I don't know how else to say this but I've never had a double stuffed Oreo.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I prefer the classic Oreo cooking, but I love you double stuffed bag! Very cute!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Love Love LOVE Double Stuffed OREO Cookies. Thanks for the tutorial. Yes, it's nice to see something other than a quilt sometimes.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Always the double stuffed oreos...lol! yum! Great idea for a cutie pouch from your blocks, great post!

    ReplyDelete
  26. I do not care for the double stuffed, but I LOVE the regular old oreo dipped in milk. Yum!! Love your bag and I just purchased the all sizes bag pattern from Jeni's site. Thanks for offering the giveaway.

  27. Double stuffed is double the pleasure! :)

  28. Not a fan of Oreos. A lovely bag for a giveaway

    ReplyDelete
  29. I love the bag, but I'm not allowed Oreos because of the sugar.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Love how you double-stuffed the scrappy center. The bag is cute and looks to be quite functional. I love Oreos - all Oreos, definitely double-stuffed, but I have to resist due to sugar.

    don't think I have actually tried the double stuffed Oreos, but I think they would be too sweet.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Double stuffed Oreos are okay, but I really like the mint flavored cream! Very cute pouch!

    ReplyDelete
  33. They are ok, but you get more in the package with the regular. Just saying......

    ReplyDelete
  34. Sadly, I avoid oreos because I could stop at just one or two! Love your tutorial today and thanks for sharing the link to Noodlehead.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I do not eat Oreos.. I'm more of a peanut butter cookie fan... Snickerdoodles... soft over hard cookies.. Either or, what a cool fun way to turn your block into a great project. Loved the bag.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Really cool bag! I have not had any double stuff Oreos in awhile but they are yummy! Have a great day! angielovesgary2 atgmail dotcom

    ReplyDelete
  37. Cute bag! You did great, using scraps on hand. Oreos are a guilty pleasure for me. Seldom are they in the house, cause I can't stop eating them!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Unfortunately I only like coconut and lemon cookies

    ReplyDelete
  39. I can see why that bag is a favorite pattern for you. It really looks great! I don't actually like Oreo cookies, but I definitely like the stuffing in them!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Who doesn't like double stuffs? More to lick out of the middle.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Cute bag! I like the pieced "stuffing." I do NOT like double stuffed oreos. I like the cookie part better, I would buy just cookie oreos if they sold them!

    ReplyDelete
  42. Love your design! Will have to make another bag using it.
    Double Stuff is my favorite!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Thanks for the tutorial! I love making bags. I'm not an Oreo fan, but I know a cute dog named Oreo!

    ReplyDelete
  44. We need to share oreos, I scrape the stuff off! I did like reverse orris vanilka cookie chocolate filling! Your block is super versatile.

    ReplyDelete
  45. What a great idea with leftovers! About the Double-stuffed Oreos. I prefer single stuffed because I really want that chocolate cookie. I have bought them since my DH & 2sons loved them. I'm still going to make your bag even if I'm not a Double-stuffed Oreo person I am a double stuffer :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. While Oreos are okay, my preference is home-baked cookies. -- soparkaveataoldotcom

  47. Such a cute bag idea! Oreos are a comfort food! Even my granddaughter who hates chocolate eats Oreos!

  49. You did an amazing job with this! And no, I prefer single stuffed Oreos.:) the ratio of chocolate to sugar is off on the double stuffed.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Not a fan of Double stuffed Oreos. I really like the mint ones. Nice and colorful bag. Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  51. What a fabulous project with your simple block.

  53. I love the colors you used in your pouch!! And, I love double stuff oreo's, but I don't buy them anymore--I stick to the regular stuffed ones!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Love the colors and simple blocks!

    ReplyDelete
  55. I don't really like oreo cookies.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Such a cute bag! Love it. If I ate double stuft Oreos I would look double stuft!!! So, sadly, I have to leave them alone. Thanks for sharing the bag and your source for the pattern.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Thanks so much for the bag-making tips--I'm very new at this, so I am taking lots of notes. :) And, no, I don't like double stuffed oreos. Too much filling for me, although I'm sure I would have liked them when I was a kid. I mostly like Oreos for dunking.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Such a cute bag. And I love the double stuffed Oreos. I have gotten spoiled by them and the regular ones just aren’t as good! I try to only buy them at a holiday and hope my kids will help eat them.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Oh, yes....double stuffed oreo....YES!

    ReplyDelete
  60. Too much stuffing in Double Stuff Oreos. I prefer the original or the things. Great bag.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Great idea to make something out of nothing (at least that's what some people call scraps). Turned out lovely. Yes, of course I love Double Stuff Oreos.

  62. Love the bag, the double stuffed not so much, I actually like the cookie part and scrape of the stuffing. I might be the only one in the world, but I love the thins-especially the mint thins Stuff them in the bag and I will be in heaven.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I love double stuffed Oreos, and this bag is too cute!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I'm no longer a fan of any kind of Oreos. I use the calories I save from not eating Oreos to have a glass of wine instead. When I first saw the Double Stuffed block, I thought it was kind of plain. I was really surprised at the way it looked made with scraps and totally delighted at the way you used it to make a zippered pouch. Very cool!

    ReplyDelete
  65. I haven't had oreos in ages, they crumb so much...

    ReplyDelete
  66. Love the Vanilla ones, and that bag too.

    ReplyDelete
  67. I am more of a fan of the cookies alone, and tend not to eat the filling..hahaha. And the zippered pouch is Amazing! Thanks for sending us to Noodlehead for the tutorial and your tips as well! Christmas presents in the making for me!

    ReplyDelete
  68. You made such a cute little bag! I'm a fan of it, but not of the double stuffed oreos. In fact, I much prefer the new ones with only a touch of stuffing!

    ReplyDelete
  69. Double Stuffed! But this"Cookie monster" isn't very picky when in comes to cookies! :) :)
