Here is the flower bag I made, and this was my first time adding a lining. This was a fun project and I'm happy how it came out. I know I have a lot of progress to make in sewing, but it was a great first experience.
The lessons I learned:
* a sewing machine is climbing at the top of my must have list
* the thread that's needed to sew everything is always much more than what I originally cut
* triple checking dimensions before cutting the fabric is not overkill
I made the bag by first crocheting a double crochet foundation as long as I wanted, added 2 in the turn (for a total of 3 in the last stitch of the foundation), then went the other way of the chain and added 2 stitches in the first stitch of the foundation (for a total of 3 in the turn).
In the second row I doubled each stitch of the turns (6 and 6), then went up all the way, changing color when I wanted to.
I added the flower applique, the straps (foundation double crochet), and the lining and that was it.

Super cute Fanny!!! I know a little girl who would die! You have to teach me please!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'll teach you with pleasure! This one is actually pretty easy to do since it's only one type of stitch all the way up :)
DeleteAlso, I was telling Tony that I wanted to make one for your little one, and was thinking about doing the colors of her school, but it might not be "flowery" enough, so let me know which colors she'll like!
