Japanese bag
I finally finished a bag from the Japanese pattern book I posted about earlier. Once again, I’m fairly happy with my efforts.
I fused wadding to the entire exterior fabric, which gives it a nice soft squishy look, but also made a few sections difficult to sew. I’ll try it again in another fabric with lighter interfacing and see what sort of effect I get with that.
One of the great things about making bags is that they really don’t take a great deal of construction time – this one took about two hours to sew together, including all details and pressing (I’ve discovered the importance of getting the iron set up and pressing as I go). I’ve got another hobo style pattern I want to try next.
Hi Lara,
Love your bags and was really interested to see the cot quilt with the chenille. One day, when I get around to it, I’ve got the fabric and chenille to make a single bed quilt, so it was great to see your’s and for the link to the chenille site. Thanks too for your comments, great to find your lovely blog.
