I am really thrilled with the Superbloom finish!
First I am excited with how well the bag came out.
Next I am excited at how well the fussy cutting looks.
Third, I am thrilled with how the Linework print and my strips fit together.
Fourth, I am ridiculously happy about the top zipper placket. I don’t know why this bit of a bag makes me so giddy. I don’t think I have ever done one before, so that may be part of it. I’ll probably come down off my cloud tomorrow.
Finally, I just love those turquoise zippers. Could they be any better? They add such a spark of color.
The lining is a little baggy even though I followed the directions and used different seam allowances. Not sure what that is about, but I will do better next time.
I was surprised at the size of the bag. I thought it was much larger. It isn’t a stupid size or anything. It is a reasonable size, just smaller than I thought. I really like the angled shape, though I don’t know if you can tell that from the top photo. I forgot to put a D-ring in it, though I know where I will put one next time. I plan to make another of these, especially since I bought the templates. So many bag patterns…so little time.
Absolutely stunning! The fussy cutting and pop of color make it look like a designer bag! (what do you do with all those bags you make?)
This one is really special. I hope you figure out the lining issue. I have a similar problem with most of the bags I make too. That lining is always too baggy. I’ll be watching! 🙂
Everything about this is amazing! One of your best!
Thank you!. It is a great pattern! I hope to make another one.
I think that this is one of your very best bags to date. All the fussy cutting was so worth it, and those zippers are truly perfect.
WOW! That is high praise ! You might have earned yourself my second effort at this bag. 😉 Thank you so much for your kind words.
