Another Christmas present completed! The Chestnut Hill Bag, made from Joel Dewberry fabric. It is so handy when fabrics come ready-coordinated for you!
The pattern is Vogue 7812 – which may now be out of print. I’ve used this pattern before, and the resulting bags are a nice size and shape. Here’s the inside:
Magnetic catch closure; internal zip pocket on one side; patch pocket and key fob on the other.
I added purse/bag feet and used fast-to-fuse to make a sturdier bag base.
As usual, the exterior has interfacing and pellon to provide structure, while maintaining a soft appearance. The silver rings on the handles add a nice touch too.
I think I’m finally on the homeward stretch with holiday sewing – but there’s still lots more to do!
