The bag is beautiful. Very creative of you to make the exciting stitched panel. I think I will try this myself.

I've used that pattern and it makes a great bag. Making the panel from Stupendous Stitiching is a great idea! And the colors are perfect.

Great looking bag. I personally prefer a highly structured purse, so I'd probably like the stiffer batting. Do you, by chance, happen to recall what brand of batting you used on this?

Thank you. I used Pellon fusible fleece, 987F. It is the same fusible fleece I used for the class project.
