I’ve always liked pale pink and lime green – and was pleasantly surprised to find that I had enough left-overs from other sewing projects to make this bag.

I used a better quality, soft woven fusible interfacing this time, and the results are vastly improved.  Lesson learned.  As usual, I’ve done a magnetic snap closure (although a button and loop looks fantastic, I find it annoying to use in practice).  There are also internal pockets, made of the lime floral fabric.

I ran out of the lime green fabric, so pieced in the pink.  The fabrics work together beautifully!  Then to find the matching ribbon and ric-rac in the stash – well, it was a sign!  Then I thought “hmmmmm, maybe a little applique . . . ” so although this one took longer to make, it was quite satisfying.

The base has a piece of fast-to-fuse inserted, so it is nice and sturdy while still being washable.  I’ve got another sewing project cut out ready to go, so who knows, if I’m really lucky I’ll have finished it as well by the end of the day!
