Well I've had a few projects completed this week, the first is for a Summer Handbag swap, I decided on a buttercup bag using Rae's free pattern, The thing is, I thought it was way too small and I like a long strap on my bags, so I made it much larger and added a zip at the top. Its funny as I received my summer handbag from my swap-bot partner and they also used the same pattern and its tiny! (The bright orange bag in the picture is what I received from another swapper, see the size difference!!)
I used a rather stiff interfacing and I am not sure if it is too stiff but it does hold its shape really well! It is quite challenging to sign up for a swap like this, especially as I had looked at my partners bags and they were quite accomplished!!! I used black and white fabric as though its not very summery I thought it was really cute! I also made a matching pencil case, the hardest part was making the zipper pull!!! its tricky! Any tips for making one?
