Quilted Patchwork Weekender #2Blogged here: www.mommybydaycrafterbynight.com/2013/10/quilted-weekende...
the days she gets to wear her own clothes. we like the uniform during the week...makes things easy easier.
This is a multi-function device, made in 1983 by Hendren Enterprises of Harrodsburg, Kentucky. McKeown's Price Guide attributes it to "Hendren Enterprise" (without the S on the end), and it is indeed spelled that way on the unit, but Hendren applied for a trademark for the name "The Weekender", and the partnership is called Hendren Enterprises on the official forms.
The unit consists of a 110 camera, AM/FM radio, flashlight, clock, stopwatch, dual time zone indicator, wake up alarm, and a storage compartment. I'm guessing they liked "The Weekender" and decided to trademark the name, and then realized their device had eight functions, so they'd call it "Octopus" as well. Or maybe they planned to make other products called The Weekender.
In any event, Hendren Enterprises wasn't in business for very long, as the Octopus apparently had quality issues. This may have been more tolerable if it had been inexpensive, but this thing sold for about $75 in 1983. If they created a product with all those functions today, it would probably be the size of a credit card, and free with the purchase of a magazine subscription!
In 1990, the trademark registration was cancelled, and these days there are several products called The Weekender.
I like cameras that are also other things, so this is a fun addition to the collection.
I would have liked to have had something displayed in the LCD window, but I couldn't get AA batteries to fit, even though that's what it's supposed to take. Odd.

Experiencing extreme frustration when making the Amy Butler Weekender Bag.
Everyone who has made it says it will be worthwhile. We'll see.

Thank you for my lovely blocks . I've been away at a quilt retreat . These blocks are all lovely . Received from Susi, Rachel, Karen and Jackie . Love them all . Thank you also for the sweet little snippets of the most coveted fabric too ! So cute !
This is the interior of the Weekender Bag I made my partner in the Goodie Bag Swap. The interior photo is here. I also made a matching zippered pouch.
I had made a practice bag for myself with the intention of doing something different for my partner. I had actually purchased Amy Butler's "Sophia Carry-All" pattern with the intention of making that. However, I thought that the Weekender seemed easier after I saw the Sophia pattern so that's what I went with. I signed up for the intermediate level in the swap and I know some people consider this pattern to be advanced but I thought it was more of an intermediate level (especially because I had already made one.) This one only took a day to make!
Based on what my partner posted in her inspiration mosaic and what she has commented on and said I am pretty sure that she will like this bag. I definitely love it and it's taking a lot of willpower to give it away.
Pattern: "Weekender Travel Bag" by Amy Butler
Fabrics: Soul Blossoms by Amy Butler in home-dec weight. The exterior is Peacock Feathers in Turquoise and the lining/trim is English Garden in Pine.
It's been many weeks in the making, but I finally finished my Weekender Bag!
More pictures and blog post with my thoughts here:
Before making my partner's bag in the Goodie Bag Swap I wanted to try a practice bag as a warm-up. I figured that if I could make Amy Butler's Weekender bag then I could make pretty much anything for my partner. This is the result.
It was NOT hard. I would say it's an intermediate pattern, especially if you have experience sewing garments or something similar that requires multiple pattern pieces. I found the pattern completely clear and easy to follow. I did modify things in a few places: I changed the cutting layout to make better use of the fabric, I made the cording using Heat n' Bond 6mm tape and I used a slightly shorter zipper than was called for and thus made the zipper opening smaller. I also added an interior pocket (photo is here.) I spent two evenings sewing it plus another couple of hours hand-sewing the lining to the interior. Cutting out all of the pieces took several hours as well.
This bag is HUGE. It didn't seem that big when looking at the pattern pieces but it seems to grow when being sewn together. This would easily hold clothing for a weekend getaway.
The fabrics are from Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms line (in the home dec weight.) The exterior fabirc is Night Tree in Cilantro and the trim/lining fabric is Temple Doors in Grass.
Now I just have to decide what to make for my partner... Actually, I've decided -- I'm just not telling yet!
