I made this one using a decor weight Anna Maria Horner Drawing Room print. Luscious. Even better because I got it on super-sale when I went to Vegas in the fall.
The bag is lined with a Rouenneries linen-look cotton and the pocket is a Lecien dot (love). I swear I could make Rae's adorable bag in my sleep. They are so quick and easy to make up and people love them! I strengthened the lining with Craftfuse (that I purchased at Jo Ann while we were in Florida for spring break) but I don't like it. Just as wrinkly/bubbly as the Pellon product I was using previously. Ick. It looked fine when I first fused it, but once you do any manipulation of the piece (like turning the bag) it gets all yucky looking! I did my best to press it back into submission. Back to the drawing board on that one.
Hope you are having a spectacular weekend.
Wow! You keep making one awesome thing after another! Amazing! Hope he fund raiser went well!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I use batting in mine and FMQ it to the lining before sewing it together. It gives the bag some body, but they stay very soft. I also ad a strip of batting to the strap handle.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bag and I hope your quilt does well too. Spent the afternoon cleaning my big old beloved Volvo ready to sell. Bit sad really. I love that car!
ReplyDeleteA luscious looking bag Krista! Beautiful lining and pocket too!
ReplyDeleteDid you make the Poppyprint label yourself? I’ve tried some of my own, but the ink disappears after washing... so sad!
The bag is great and I really like the way you used the fabric. I can't wait to hear about how successful you were!
ReplyDeletea fabulous bag! I've got the instructions for that Buttercup Bag, but am yet to make it. Seeing all of the ones you've made has got me thinking I'd better hop to it aand give it a whirl!
ReplyDeleteI hope your fundraiser was spectacular!
I need to make this bag. Yours are all so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes have trouble placing large-ish prints into projects -- this looks fabulous. I love the way you positioned and centered the various elements of the print.
ReplyDeletebeautiful bag indeed!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely bag Krista,it is beautifully sewn,well done.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous bag! I love how your centred the design on the bag. I hope you raised lots and lots of moolah!
ReplyDeleteI don't like Craft Fuse either. Try Pellon's SF-101 woven. It adds body without the crinkly feeling. I really like it and use it in all my bags. Here's the webpage:

ReplyDeletethis is so cute... I need to go make that pattern. :) I just did a bag with fusible fleece... I'll try that and let you know how it works.
ReplyDeletelove that fabric! sorry about the interfacing. looks like a product needs developing... I can't think of anyone better suited for that than you...
