Beautiful bag and nice touch with the flower!

Thanks everyone! I always use 987F fleece and Decor Bond in my purses. Both can be purchased at Joann's.

The flower was easy to make.

For flower:

*Cut fabric 42" x 4"

*Fold in half, lengthwise, with RIGHT sides together. Stitch ends in 1/4" seam.

*Turn RIGHT side out. Press. To gather, machine stitch 1/4" from raw edge, using a long machine stitch.
Pull up gathers as tightly as possible. Fasten thread ends securely.

*To form flower, starting with one end, turn strip in a spiral, making smaller spirals on tope and tacking flower as you
taper end at center.

Love the Mini Mi pattern ... actually I love all Joan's patterns.

Just wondering where the raw edge is if we sewed RST and turned right side out. Do you mean 1/4" in from one of the ends??

Had a little idea.....how would it work to use 2 fabrics. Cut them at 21/4" each, sew them RST and turn rightside out etc. You would have a two-toned flower.

Yeah, it says sew 1/4" on the ends. Like the two-toned flower idea. I actually wanted to make this one with the two fabrics but then just went with the one.

Thanks joysewer. I have the direction written so after the wedding I'll give it a whirl. Might make a good Christmas gift, made into a pin too. Oh my mind needs to shut down for the night. lol
