I finished up my new bag this morning. :-) It's the pattern 'The X Bag' by Four Corners Designs. I changed a few things~ I always do! LOL :-) I didn't want one side of the bag to be the primary color with lining peeking up because then on the other side the lining is the primary bag part, so I put denim for both sides and the lining on the inside. That is why my lining doesn't show on the under pocket part like it shows in the pattern. I ironed Decor Bond to the lining pieces to make it hold its shape~ that was a bugger to sew thru all the layers for the bottom! :-o Yikes! But my trusty Pfaff blazed through. ;-) Also, I've done velcro tabs on other purses and the velcro never works so hot, so this time I made a tab with a big button. The button has a secret purpose for me as it marks the side with the inside pocket. I gotta have an inside pocket! The pattern didn't have one, so I kind of guessed at placement~ its a little low, but will do the trick for me. It is for my sunglasses. :-) I think I'm going to like this bag! :-)
Now I really must get back to quilting and stitcheries! I am behind in everything! :-o So until next time~~
Happy Stitchin' to you!! :-)
