I have used fusible fleece before and you are spot on with the advice to remove the seam allowances. I have made several t-shirts with camo skulls for grand-kids. I'm not wild about the print either;but, they love them. 3/10/12 12:18 PM

I too am not a big fan of the skulls but you made it work and the whole bag looks great. Did it take you a long time to sew the whole bag? 3/11/12 1:02 AM

I especially agree with points 1 & 2 - managing the many pieces and managing the bulk are key! In my most recent version I used hardware to make an adjustable strap and magnetic snaps instead of velcro - I thought both were good solutions to the problems you mentioned, which I also experienced. 3/11/12 11:05 AM
