I'm participating in the
Happy Little Pouch Hop for the next 2 weeks, so I got my butt in gear and tried a pattern I got a while ago - the
Nadia bag, by IThinkSew. I increased the size of the bag piece to 11" x 13" (instead of 10.5" X 12"), and constructed the handle a bit differently (one piece of fabric 3.5" x 8"). I would do the zipper install differently next time, and I zigzagged the seams inside instead of covering them with bias binding - the rest of the construction was pretty much as per the pattern. It worked out quite well, IIDSSM! A few more pics:

Love the black and white prints that you used for this. It looks like a fun little bag to make.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty! I love your fabric choices, too. The handle is a great idea on a bag like this.
ReplyDeleteYou? You're participating in the pouch hop? But you've never made a pouch in your life...
