Gosh I've been completely and utterly slack with the Choose Your Own Bag Adventure sew-along!
I finally chose the fabric for the front flap of my Baguette from the stash.
Then I chose the rest of the fabrics, interfaced them, and cut them out.
The main body of the bag is going to a plain black. It's something that I picked up in the remnants bin eons ago and I'm really not quite sure what type of fabric it is. I foresee that the slipperiness of it may cause me some problems when sewing around the curves (thank goodness it's an OFM* project).
The rich red will be a nice surprise on the inside.
I seem to have lost my bag mojo after cutting out, as I put this one aside, and moved onto the pile of school uniforms that needed mending instead.
Hmmm gotta get back to it pronto!
PS - If you've finished your bag and I haven't added it to the list on the sidebar, please email me your link and let me know.
*OFM only for me so it doesn't matter so much if my curves are a little dodgy

Looks like it will be a gorgeous bag. I've got the baguette pattern waiting to be made up too. I forgot to enter this, is there still time?
ReplyDelete..it's a very good place to start, and it will be a fabulous finish.
ReplyDeleteI nearly always have a break between cutting and sewing. I think they require different sorts of creative energy.
ooh! it'll look fabulous and i'm sure the corners won't be dodgy at all!
