Finished: Lavender Oxbow -pocket side<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Lavender Oxbow is done and I’ll be sending it off soon.<\/p>\n

I like this pattern and found that it was a lot easier to manage the second time. I’d like to make the larger size, but that is a project for another day. <\/p>\n

I think it will be useful for the recipient. I find the bag useful for my guild materials.<\/p>\n

I think the colors\/fabrics are great. I want to use the glittery pocket fabric for a Pandora Allure bag<\/a>. That isn’t my next bag, but it is coming up.<\/p>\n

The layers were a challenge. My new machine even balked at some of them. Turning the bag was also a challenge. I couldn’t press everything, because of the various vinyl substrates.<\/p>\n

Finished: Lavender Oxbow -inside<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was super happy when the bag wasn’t quite finished<\/a>, but I am less happy with it now. The lining, despite using a smaller (I thought much smaller) seam allowance is still saggy-baggy. <\/p>\n

As mentioned, I used some of the Sewfisive stick-on interfacing<\/a> to add to the reinforced bottom and I think it was too much. I think the lavender quilted bottom would have probably been fine on its own. <\/p>\n

I am trying to decide whether I’ll be happier if I take the bag apart and redo some sections before I gift it. I have to think about it. <\/p>\n

\"Finished:<\/a>
Finished: Lavender Oxbow – back<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I can’t decide whether there is some reason not to add a pocket on the other side\/back of the bag. It would make the directions a little challenging as Anna Graham refers to the panel with the pocket as the ‘front’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
