Betty Shopper Bag Finished




Here is my latest creation... This is the Betty Shopper bag by Amy Butler. The fabric is from Joel Dewberry's line called Manzanita. I love the way this bag turned out. It reminds me of a carpet bag, but is very soft and will be just great for carrying my groceries. I had a hard time finding any cotton canvas or duckcloth over here so I used a cotton drill for the interfacing which I think has turned out very well. The only difficult bit was pounding in the grommets at the end, which required a lot of pounding. I would definitely use this pattern again.
