I wasn't disappointed. The fabric is lovely to work with. A linen/cotton blend so heavier weight. Easy to sew and easy to press. I made a shopper bag for my Seamstar parcels when going to the Post Office!
In total for this medium bag I used: 3/4 meter of Etsuko Furuya - Echino Spring 2010 - Helicopter in Purple
1/4 meter piece of Etsuko Furuya - Echino Spring 2010 - Camera in Purple (although it was a really small piece of the 1/4 meter and I have loads left over so I'm going to make a purse and a glasses case); and
1/2 meter of Kona solid in dark violet for the lining.
So next time you place a Seamstar order - rest assured your package is travelling in style :)
Courtney it's gorgeous I love it!! You've made me want to make one too, I need a largish bag for swimming lessons! Mmmm.....
ReplyDeleteLooks AMAZING!! xx
ReplyDeleteJust got my Echino Bundle - it's fantastic! You need to stop getting new fabrics though - you have such good taste and it's going to bankrupt me!!

ReplyDeleteThanks :)
This is a medium and I think you could fit around 2 plastic bags of shopping in there because of the side pleats. If I get time (!) I was thinking of making the smaller version and altering the handles so it will go over the shoulder.

ReplyDeleteThanks!
I'd like to say it was all due to my skill but it was just one of those projects that seemed to work itself :)
@jane
