This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Bag-Making Basics: Reversible Tote & Zipper Pouch »

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Functional

For: Women

Style: Romantic


What was your inspiration?

The craftsy Bag- making basics class

What are you most proud of?

How pretty the set turned out. I interfaced the fabric on the tote bag also which gave a bit more body. I put pockets on both sides of the lining fabric so that I can stash things in there. I am going into hospital for three days soon so these will be nice to take with me to carry my bits and pieces.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Combine fabrics you love in a way that is pleasing to you, these bags are lots of fun to make and so easy.

The stripe fabric picks up all the colours of the floral print

If it were mine, I would have used warn and natural quilting batting to make it a bit firmer. But I am sure the interfacing would have helped. It is a lovely bag!!!
