Last night, in just a few hours, I made a Sew Together bag from start to finish in just a few hours! It was so fun for me-it's been a while since I've found the time and energy for any project.
One of the most fun parts of any sewing project is choosing the fabrics from my stash. The far left floral print in the below picture is one of my all-time fabrics designed by Anna Maria Horner. Matching fabrics to coordinate with it was somewhat difficult: it contains some very unique shades of green, orange, and blue that didn't find friends within my stash- so I chose fabrics that were "close enough." This is a strategy that I have learned to use often. Avoiding perfectly matched combinations is a style I like anyhow.
I had three 9" mustard colored zippers set aside for this project, but I could not find them! I finally settled on using some other zippers in my small zipper stash.
This cute bag is off to a dear friend who hopefully will love a little surprise in the mail. I love this bag pattern SO much and I think every sewer needs to have one. I use mine all of the time!
Lining up with Purse Palooza 2015 and Finish it up Friday.
