A few moths ago I bought The Make Your Getaway Duffle PDF pattern by Gingercake. My intentions were to make each of the girls a duffel bag to use when we travel. Once I got the pattern I felt like I had bitten off a little more then I could chew but I tackled it anyway. Well about half way through I got frazzled and put it away hoping that I would get the motivation (and guts) to finish it. During this last week in the "dark ages" I was able to do just that!! And I must say I am pretty proud of myself. Not only does it look like it is supposed to but it came together without a hitch!! All the pieces matched up perfectly. It definitely was a boost to my sewing confidence!
What do think? Isn't that the cutest fabric? I added the piping and made my handles wider.
I am in love! Now just to start on the next one.
Does anyone else dislike cutting out fabric or am I the only one?
So cute, Andi! That fabric is adorable. I hate cutting out fabric. It is probably my least favorite part of any project.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! So so so cute!!! I know what you mean about blogger being out of control. I haven't blogged in a while and it's good to be back. It was good to take a break but I'm happy to visit my favorite blogs again.
