I am sure you are familiar with the reversible bucket bag sew along happening here at MyBotanG. Today marks the end of the gathering stage and we are now going to cut out all the pieces needed for the bag from 15 - 21 Feb (1 week). Before we get into that, first I'd like to share my materials for the bag.
The pattern requires 3 pieces of 0.5m fabrics for the exterior, lining, contrast binding, base and button closure.
I have decided to use these fabrics from left;
Love U by Deb Strain for Moda, lime green polka dot fabric by cosmo textiles and fancy fabric collection by Lecein
 |
The pattern also requires 0.5m of medium weight woven fusible interfacing and another 0.5m of fusible fleece. We had a lot of discussion (confusion on my part) about the fusible fleece - to know more, read the comment section here) and the discussion continued on the http://www.flickr.com/groups/mybotang-sewalong/. Do come and join us and add pictures to the pool, my picture is lonely and sad by itself *cry*

sebab saya belum habis decide lagi.. (as usual... MamaD seorang pemikir yang mengambil masa yang lama untuk berfikir...) muahahaha... but i will stick to green, sebab dah minta consent from my mum (the bucket bag owner-to-be).. can green be happy with red and black? muahaha.. sew undecided..
