New bag project
« on: December 21, 2020, 22:20:47 PM »
Now I finally have some time off work I am starting my next bag project. Today I cut and fused everything and started making the front panel. I have wanted to use this fabric print for ages but hadn't quite found the right use until today. The purple is a thick, waterproof canvas type material. It is the first time I have sewn with it but I am pleased with it so far which is good as I also have it in pink and turquoise!

I kept reading about the hardware and thought,what hardware?'   Hadn’t seen it all because it blends in so well with the fabric.  :facepalm:  It’s lovely.  Where did you get them from?

@sewsimple I have a few Facebook groups I belong to who buy in bag hardware. I think this set came from bagmaking bling (she also has an etsy shop).

I love the range of hardware I can buy from these groups, the only disadvantage being you have to buy when you see them and they may not get the items back in.

This finish is called rainbow and it is becoming increasingly popular in bag making groups. I wasn't keen on it at first but it has grown on me in the past few months!

Oh yes, very pretty hardware - thanks for revealing your source @RJR_38. I might look for a similar group over here. There's nothing like a nice bag project, is there  :).

OK, so I've mostly finished the outside. It is slightly louder than I imagined as I thought the purple would show more but the purple flap is under the other one. I still like it though haha.

Tomorrow the lining!  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

The bag is looking good.  I have no patience for doing that detail of work so I'm in awe of your skills.

Finished! Overall I love the way it looks. I would tweak a few minor things if I were to make it again but I think it will get plenty of use!   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
