I made another Dewdrop Handbag, this time for my sister for her birthday. I love the way it turned out.
The Echino fabric is perfect for this bag as it has a sturdy weight and crisp hand that give the bag structure. I included fusible interfacing as well. It's one tough little bag!
When edge- and top-stitching there were times when there were several layers to sew through which would have been difficult without my trusty walking foot. I love that thing! Absolutely indispensible.
I wanted the bag to be deeper than the last one I made so it could hold more. To achieve this, I cut the pattern in half horizontally, separated the two halves by two inches, and then pinned and cut.
I totally love this fabric and have several more prints that I'm looking forward to using.
Have you made something with Echino?

Great work lady.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely useful and lots of fun to tote around, too. I was the very lucky recipient of this gift, and I've been using it as a purse for a couple weeks now. It easily holds my wallet, blackberry, and keys. I don't like to carry around very much or have too many compartments, so it is just perfect for me right now. I was concerned that I wouldn't get to use it at first because my 4-year-old kept bringing it to his room and filling it with his trinkets.
ReplyDeleteHey, I guess I do read your blog from time to time. ;)
