In the Making

I've started on yet another bag! This particular one is specifically for my mom. (I guess you should expect your first sale to be from your mother!) She chose the fabrics and now I'm getting to work! Both fabrics are a cotton twill which means they're just a bit stronger than regular cotton. I'm using a lightweight interfacing for the main bag part because this sort of purse is not meant to be stiff. However, I am using my heavyweight interfacing for the strap and the bottom of the bag mainly because those two pieces get the most use and you want something that can handle every day life!




Above: This is the fabric my mom chose. Very fall-like! Here I'm getting ready to press and then cut all the pieces I need.




Everything is cut! Next step is to start pinning and piecing and sewing! I'll be posting more pics throughout the making of this bag! Can't wait to see how this will turn out! :)
