This bag is almost complete. It's made up of 15 pieces (plus 13 pieces of interfacing) and the instructions in black and white are quite challenging to follow, but I'd made this before about 18 months ago for a friend's birthday. so how come I made such a pig's ear of the construction? I'd nearly finished when I found a piece of lining I'd missed! So I had to unpick topstitching and seams from one zip to add it. Did that then realised I'd sewn the missing lining bit in back to front and had to unpick again
. Arghhh! Pay attention woman!
. Oh and I'm leaving off the wrist strap because I deliberately cut it short then realised it was
too short and the fabric's all gone. Shame cause It's a nice touch.
Oh well - nearly there
Edit: A bit more info: the butterfly fabric I've had a few years and made several different small bags from it - none left now. The corners are Kraft tex - maybe I prefer the faux leather I used last time. The YKK zips came from an Etsy US company - 20 of them in 2 sizes so more pouches to come!
