So, number two on the list is done and gone. I rather enjoyed making this bag after I started. The brief was for a bag that looked like a skirt and had cut out front pockets. I used a size 10 skirt pattern from 25 years ago and just shaped my own pockets. The lining and outside were then treated as one and inserted into the waistband as seen in my previos post. Details of the front. The colours in these photos are not true to life. The real object has more colour and is a very comfortable bag for carrying goodies.The third item on my list will be made using this skirt. My friend in Queensland bought it in an op shop and commissioned me to make her a bag. I wonder what the finished project will look like? At present I have no idea. I think I will start by cutting off the material I need for straps and then go from there.
Tune in next week for the exciting finish to this series!

Hi again, :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment!
You asked, "...May I ask, what sort of interfacing do you use?"I use Pellon Decor Bond or Craft Fuse on the body of the bag and a lighter weight interfacing for the lining.
