Breanne's Bag - The Whole Shebang!


Now that Breanne has in fact received her bag - I can post the whole picture! This was my first bag using Flexi-Firm Fusible interfacing, and I must say, I was impressed! The bag holds it's shape wonderfully and my machine had no problem stitching through areas that had four layers of fabric, plus two layers of FFF.
The original design used fabric bands, instead of ribbons. What I didn't account for was the placement of the flap when the FFF is used. All my other bags have had more give to them, making the opening a little more flexible. With this one I had to alter the flap length and extend it by about 5".

Breanne's Bag


I can't show you aaaalllll of it. But I can show a corner! This is the first time I have disliked my own design. The original idea was similar, but it turned out a little too "grandma" for my liking. It just wasn't something a young mother would carry. And hey, if I wouldn't want to be seen with it, I'm not selling it to you!

I originally finished the bag on Monday, but spent the last few days changing the design, internally and externally. Truthfully, it doesn't look much different on the outside, but it is more polished and youthful in style. I hope Breanne likes it!
