Well, this is a picture of the almost finished 9 plus hour reversible purse I tried to make yesterday. For some reason, I just couldn't get the hang of it, so I kinda stumbled through the making of it. It will be fine, when I finish stitching the handles and top-stitching it. Man, who would have thought when I begin with such expectation and finished with, Are we finished yet???
I got the wonderful idea for this bag from the sewfinefabric.wordpress.com and verypurpleperson.com sites. Their bags were so cute and so simple, they said. The instructions were simple and if I had looked at the pictures more closely, I would have been finished in an hour, like they said.
This is me deciding to attach a pocket on the front of the purse. Came out kinda nice, I'd say. Then came this, the constant, ripping out seams,you see, I kept sewing all of the four pieces together, over and over and over again. I kept reading the instructions wrong, wrong, wrong...brain fog, I guess, what can I say?
So finally, I saw that they only sewed two of the bags and handles together, not all four!!! then they set one bag inside of the other. why I couldn't see that, I don't know. I had to go to youtube and watch a Martha Stewart video on making an reversible bag to get it right. Thanks Martha!!!
As soon, as I finish stitching it (sometime tonight), I'll post the final picture. Whew...glad that's over.
Here's the final picture of the finished purse. Nice!!!
