I made a little progress at the last Sew Day on this bag. I mostly did prep, which needed to be done. I have to admit that I prefer to cut and do prep at Sew Day. It just means I have less to haul around. I was happy to make some progress, especially progress that was useful.<\/p>\n

\"Hildegarde<\/a>

When I got home I was able to get going on the lid.<\/p>\n

I know that the trunk of the tree on the handle doesn’t exactly line up with the trunk of the tree on the top, I am still ridiculously pleased with how this came out. I am pleased with the pink and pleased with the fabric I chose.<\/p>\n

The next day, I worked on making the whole top\/lid. Above is just the exterior.<\/p>\n

In the photo, left, you can see the hinge and the zipper completely attached. I think this method of construction is the same one used for the Hackney<\/a> bags.<\/p>\n

\"Hildegarde<\/a>

Again, I had some trouble with the mesh pocket. I am not sure why. It could be that I measured wrong somewhere. There was some ripping, but, in the end it came out ok. I really want to try another mesh pocket right away, but it will have to be for another type of bag as I am not ready to commit to another Hildegarde right away.<\/p>\n

I know the mesh pocket looks a little wonky, but it really isn’t. I measured the binding on the top mesh carefully, so it would be even on both sides. It just looks a little weird in the photo.<\/p>\n

Center Street Quilts has a video<\/a> for her Stella pouch. I like the way she makes her zipper tabs and would like to try that method next time. I think that method would work for any type of zipper and give me some flexibility as to size. Of course, it would be helpful if I cut everything properly. I always think I do, but I have to explore the possibility that something was too small. Perhaps I’ll cut out the top of a Hackney and try this pocket again while my thoughts are fresh in my mind.<\/p>\n

This is a Sew Sweetness pattern. It is part of Minikins Season 4<\/a> bundle. You can see the various projects I have made from the Minikins patterns on the Minikins page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
