sewing: a new stuff sack

My sister gave me a charm pack of Moda's "Route 15" fabric, and after letting it sit around for a year, I finally figured out is perfect for this stuff sack.

The fabric theme is "city" or "travel," so it works perfectly if this is a traveling bag.  I think it's perfect for a beach sack, or would work great as a laundry sack if you have to schlepp your clothes to the laundromat (perfect for someone in college).

The top part is a current fabric, sorry I didn't note the name, with images of passports and travel tickets.





Every time I make something I try to add an improvement, and this time I gave the carry-strap two layers of quilt batting, thinking it might make it more comfortable to carry. This caused the strap to twist just a tiny bit as I sewed it, but I don't think it's a problem.

This bag is already on it's way to a new home!  I used all but two of the charm squares in making the body, so it's a perfect project for a charm pack. Any interest in me writing a tutorial? It's definitely a 1-day-project and not complex.
