Piebald #3<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I finished the third Piebald in time to give it to my friend. This one looks quite fat and squat. I didn’t even plump it up for the photo. Isn’t it funny?<\/p>\n

I was able to fussy cut the flap and front panel again, which makes the flap look good. I was able to get the fussy cutting the right way up on the front panel this time as well.<\/p>\n

I am also really pleased with the zipper. I found some #3 rainbow zipper tape and some smaller zipper pulls. I used them to try adding a double zipper, which worked perfectly. I thought the white tape would look a little weird, but I think it looks fine. I just love those rainbow zipper teeth.<\/p>\n

This time I understood the directions for completely attaching the lining. There is a part you have to glue the lining to the foam on the inside, which I did, but it didn’t work even though I let it dry as described in the video. Fourth time is the charm? We’ll see.<\/p>\n

I hand stitched the lining to the front panel, which worked fine.<\/p>\n

I didn’t have very much of the lining fabric, but I was able to cut all the pieces I needed with no problem. I also still have some left. I think I had most of a fat quarter or slightly over the FQ size from an original half yard. I don’t remember how much I originally bought.<\/p>\n

I changed the way I assembled the lining as well. The directions say to start out with a quarter inch seam allowance then veer to 3\/8s and then veer back to a quarter. I didn’t like the way that worked on Piebald #2, so I used a 3\/8 inch seam allowance for the lining of this pouch. I think it fits much better.<\/p>\n

As you can see from the various photos, the strap is much smaller. I measured exactly this time (21.5 inches) and added it as directed. When I make the Cal version I’ll make it somewhere in between the lengths I used on Piebald #2 and Piebald #3.<\/p>\n
