I am amazed you kept it a secret for that long, LOL! And I did check out the bag you referenced, since you made it in my hiatus from sewing blogs, and it is absolutely AMAZING!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051986683996433372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-39156845000038026022015-08-03T21:55:45.424-04:002015-08-03T21:55:45.424-04:00People complain about more fabric?

I did get back from SF this weekend where I got to hit up a number of stores. There's fabric all over my sewing room.

In case you're asking about my shoes, they are Converse x Comme des Garçons Play -- can't remember if they are called "peek" officially, but the print is not of the full heart, just the heart peeking up from the bottom of the shoe.

I sewed the two short sides together to make the single vertical seam, then sewed the long sides together on one end to create the "bottom" of the bag, then boxed the corners. Straps and lining are made from remnants from other projects. I'd received this fat eighth of canvas fabric in a giveaway bag and was stumped as to what to do -- and this was a great way to make something I'd use regularly, as well as to minimize waste in the design. Good luck.Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398754886656482414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-73223656265983391422015-08-03T01:29:29.307-04:002015-08-03T01:29:29.307-04:00Thank you for responding .

If so, yes, I made it. No pattern. It's a full fat quarter, sewn into a small boxy bag with a zipper top (zipper is sandwiched between the lining and self). I used plain black canvas remnants for the handles. Super simple, and no measuring or pattern required!Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09398754886656482414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-85788656148766500122015-08-02T22:17:05.491-04:002015-08-02T22:17:05.491-04:00I need to get sewing so I can be ready for my NYC ...I need to get sewing so I can be ready for my NYC trip in March!<br /><br />Looks like you had an amazing time!<br />SewCraftyChemisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07971798108420431518noreply@blogger.com
