Wow! I finished the Amy Butler Weekender Bag this morning. I have to say that this has been a slow going project, but for the main part very enjoyable. The part I didn't like was sewing the piping on the bag. It was very tricky to sew close to the piping but not over it and thus keeping it even all the way around the bag. I sewed so many stitches in this bag that it should be quite durable! This bag holds a lot and will actually be perfect for short trips as well as for using as a carry on bag on the plane journey home. Did anyone see the meteor showers last night? I went outside last night and saw one go completely across the sky and turn green, then blue then white! It was quite amazing actually! Maybe I'll get lucky and see more tonight...
The bag looks great, love the fabric.
ReplyDeleteI love the bag. You did a great job.
ReplyDeleteWow, great bag! It looks really complicated. Darn, I forgot to check out the meteors last night, and I was even up at 2:30 to bring in Roogrr because he was barking up a storm.
ReplyDeleteFabulous job!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!! Looks like it will hold plenty.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!!! Looks like it will hold plenty.
ReplyDeleteI have to get the pattern for this -it looks great. You did a brilliant job of it. I love your photo too !
ReplyDeleteThe bag turned out really well!! I put piping on my Christmas stocking and it is so hard to get it nice and even thats for sure, but your piping looks great!
ReplyDeleteWow! Looks absolutely marvelous! One would never know that you struggled a bit with the piping. How fun to have such a neat bag to use that you made yourself!
ReplyDeleteGreat bag. I use a zipper foot for applying piping. I think you can get a special piping foot for most machines.
ReplyDeletewow, it looks cool, I wish I could have a similar one. How did you get the body of the bag stiff?
ReplyDeleteyour bag looks fantastic. BTW thanks for commenting on my blog. If you hadn't I wouldn't have found your blog and I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe stiffness comes from the Timtex, which is a great product. I just wish it wasn't so expensive!!! Get it in a roll from Joann's and use one of their coupons!
