So I took today off from work to buy a new couch (win! It arrives on Saturday!) and dishwasher (fail, Lowe's won't install it for me because of copper something-er-other). So I didn't get much sewing time in. I decided I would sew for no longer than an hour tonight. I had already cut out the bag and done the prep work Saturday and Sunday respectively. Here's how far I got, the exterior is done (it's the scissors fabric from Stitch Lab in Austin):
Cute, right?? Do you see the piping??? You know how I looove piping.
The final product is supposed to have a tuck, so I mocked that up:
I have to do the lining, which has a pocket and a band of fabric at the top that is the same as the exterior. I need to figure out the bottom piece; it's supposed to be a plastic needlework "insert" but I was thinking of cardboard, but then washing it would be inconvenient if it was cardboard. Maybe I have some plastic around here that would work. hrm. Right now I have some wooden postcards (from Kauai!!) as placeholders instead.
Good night!!
Cute bag! Love the scissor fabric.
