I started designing and sewing this series of bags in late 2007.  Inspired by the bags of Josh Jakus (who uses circles and ellipses), I came up with a simple rule set that can use arbitrary curves to construct closed, 3D shapes from a single, flat, piece of fabric.  The instructable I posted for this project won the 2007 Homemade for the Holidays contest.
