buttercup bag
Jan. 5th, 2010 12:37 pmToday F was in a good mood so I did some sewing while we hung out together. I finished making this Buttercup Bag I started a few days ago, from the scraps leftover from the laptop bag.
I tried to do the little decorative button tab like in the pattern, but it ended up looking like a dorky cotton potato chip, so instead, I cut circles from scraps with the pinking shears and sewed a couple buttons in the center.
I lined it with a black and white cotton print from the stash. I wish it had been black and cream to match better, but oh well. I used a magnetic snap to close. The strap is cream twill tape stitched to black petersham, and it's shoulder-length instead of handbag-length.
( lining & strap detail )
This is smaller than my current purse, and the first non-messenger bag I've made for myself in a while. But it's nice to go smaller sometimes.
