It’s been a good while since I cut out the EPPic Bag. I decided to go through my project bags over this weekend and this was the first one on the list. I decided to use the owl fabric from Tula Pink for the exterior. I wanted to cut it out and cross that off the cutting list. 

I know I was in an agony of indecision when I first started choosing fabric about whether to make this for myself or not. I decided it doesn’t matter and I am just going to make it the way I want. We’ll go from there. It might be a bag I can enter in the Fair.

Proceeding from there, I fussy cut the owls in the right size and did some interfacing of pieces. I used a lot of Decovil Heavy and hope that will be heavy enough for the ‘heavy’ interfacing indicated in the pattern. I tried to be very careful about lining up the center with the center of the owl. The owls are drawn in such a way that I was able to line up the ruler on the center line pretty easily.

I haven’t actually done any sewing yet, but we’ll see if I get to it.

It has been a month or so since I cut out this bag, but I remembered I hadn’t showed you the pieces. I talked about the idea of this bag when I talked about the Everglow fabric.

I still haven’t chosen an exterior fabric. All of the fabrics shown are for the interior and the trim. One reason is I thought I might make this as a gift, but am wobbling. I cut the fabrics to suit myself, but then thought I had the A Place for Everything bag for EPP and didn’t need another one. If I give this as a fit, I would choose different fabrics for the front. Part of the reason, I haven’t worked on this is that I am in an agony of indecision. Not really, but it sounds dramatic, right?

One thing I will note is that all of the Etsy links I posted before to allow you to buy your own pattern are no longer available. Chasing Tygers has a website with videos on making the bag, which is great, but very little other information. The Etsy link is also different. I eventually went to IG and called up the Chasing Tigers account‘s linktree, where I found they are now on Payhip. Thus, you can actually buy the EPPic Case pattern. Remember to buy the bundle as you get a better deal. I suppose I should have known that nobody updates their blog or website anymore and I should have gone to IG first.
