\"Enigma<\/a>
Enigma Bag #2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I forgot to post about the finished second Enigma. I wrote<\/a> about last a week ago.<\/p>\n

I am so pleased with the fabrics, which I talked about last time<\/a>. They look so well with the zipper, too.<\/p>\n

\"Peony<\/a>

As per usual with second tries, this one went together a lot easier and much faster. I didn’t use the prequilted fabric I had Colleen make for me. I only have one fabric, the Philip Jacobs fabric I used last time and I wanted something different.  The bottom piece needs to be quilted, which meant I had to quilt the bottom. It was fine. I used one fabric for the lining and I like that look a lot better, even if the various lining fabrics<\/a> aren’t very noticeable on the first Enigma.<\/p>\n

Peony Enigma: accordion pocket<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The accordion construction of the center pocket is magical in a way. It is just so amazing how easily it goes together. I am really pleased with how it came out.<\/p>\n

Also, the fabrics look so pretty in this configuration. I think the Kabloom fabric is just a good fabric design, because I didn’t have much fabric left to fussy cut. The end with the half peony flower is a happy accident.<\/p>\n

Peony Enigma: diagonal zipper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I am still kind of enamored of the diagonal zipper design. I really need to know how Sara comes up with her designs. I saw another bag like this, but can’t believe that she would steal a design.<\/p>\n

The only part that didn’t come out exactly as planned was the handle. I think I spaced the stitching too far apart. The empty space is large enough for me to carry it, but the Chrysanthemum version<\/a> had more space. C’est la vie!<\/p>\n

I am so pleased with how this bag came out.<\/p>\n

I plan to use it to travel with EPP projects. I haven’t filled it, or the Chrysanthemum version<\/a>, up yet, but will. I have a few trips coming up later this year and will need it for them. Cross your fingers I can find a good project.<\/p>\n

I might put this bag on my list to make as gifts. I am not done with the Hackneys<\/a> yets, so stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
