I used the Sara Lawson (Sew Sweetness website) pattern for her Tudor Bag (that I won as part of a prize from one of the Finish Along quarters of this year) to make this bag for my mum for Christmas...
- she had asked for a bag with short handles and this was a good chance to try out this pattern. It was my first time adding a zip pocket on the front and a zip placket at the top. I have also never used stiff Soft and Stable foam as wadding (it's just so expensive here...)
There are four inner pockets, attached to the lining....
It was a slightly more difficult construction method from my usual style of bag but I managed to put it altogether in a couple of days (in between Christmas shopping/chores)...phew!
i like that it is rectangle (boxy) and that it zips shut. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Margaret - it was nice to try a pattern that gave me some challenges.
DeleteThis bag is gorgeous, how on earth did you part with it?!
ReplyDeleteCheers! I was very pleased with it - may have to make another one just for moi!
