I finished the bag this weekend. I'd like to say that I really enjoyed making it but it was nerve racking! I did the fusible backing and that was the best, thank you all for that tidbit of wisdom I appreciate it. I cut my weaving with minimal weaving fallout and that was a relief. Would I make another bag after this venture? For sure, after I finished and looked at my bag I thought that wasn't so bad, some tense moments but all in all it came out really nice and I already enjoyed using it on Saturday night. The DD even said she thought it was really cute and might borrow it, so I'd say it was a successful project. The first pic is of the woven fabric
pre-cutting with the fusible interfacing on.
This is a shot of the fabric cut and ready to be sewn, it was thick and my poor sewing machine had some snags with it.
Sewn and ready to finish with strap and button, I also hemstitched at the
beginning and end of each weave for extra stability.
Woven interior prior to ironing.
Finished and ready for a night out on the town!
This bag was created with help from this
tutorial at Lisa Lam's
