I was talking with my mom, step-dad and DH about the bag and trying to explain this substrate. I described it as pleather. I didn&#8217;t remember that it was vinyl. It doesn&#8217;t feel like vinyl.

The quilted Diamond vinyl is very soft and buttery. It feels like a very expensive leather.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I am struggling a tiny bit because I have to get used to a new pattern designer\/writer, but in general the project is moving along well. I didn&#8217;t want to stop working on it last night and am excited to have another go tomorrow. This is due on February 7, if I want to get credit in the challenge.
