I made it and i LOVE IT!
For Sew it this week we attempted to make the Margaret Bag by Elizabeth from Oh, Frasson!
Its such a great everyday bag and i cant wait to go out and show it off! I used Ikea fabrics for both the exertior and the lining.
Here is what the lining looks like, and the pockets
The tutorial was very well explained! Elizabeth suggested to use interfacing and fusiable flannel (which i didnt have). In the end i decided not to use any interfacing so it didnt take me that long to make it.
Some of the participants were having some problems making it so i started a topic in the forum read it here
This is the button i used a light pink one
So ladies what do you think?!
I cant wait to see what the other bags made with this week with Sew it.
Just one last look at the bag after i added a flower brooch
Have a great one ladies come back tomorrow to see who else made this cute bag
