Mothers Day Bag
May 15, 2005
This bag was for the lovely Sylvia on mothers day. It was made with some upholstery fabric for the outside, some ultra lovely printed satin for the inside, and a contrasting top stitch, my first time using the twin needle on the sewing machine. Tina mentioned to me I can get a different foot for my machine that will help align the twin needle to the edge which was the problem I had. I need to get a walking foot for quilting also so must look into this (perhaps this week while I'm on holidays??)

My favourite part, this beautiful satin lining..

Overall gist of the thing
The pattern was in a get creative magazine, and intended to use a suede or denim fabric, self lined. But this works just as well (if not better).. Oh! this was also my first bag made with the benefit of the overlocker which was great. Being able to overlock the inside base (I'm always too lazy to bind, and just leave a messy edge) was fantastic.
