So, when I first had some fabric samples made, I had the Tossed Tiny Shoes in black and white on a black background. For this custom fabric company, it's impossible to get a true black on 100% cotton. Poly...oh yeah..but not cotton. I also wanted to see the weight of the 6 ounce cotton...good for purse (or home dec), not for quilts. So I ended up with a yard of charcoal color background.
I also ordered something called Soft n Stable...interfacing specifically meant for purses and totes. Really nice stuff!! Easy to work with. Wanted to make a kind of large size purse, especially to carry to the East Cobb Quilt Show this past weekend. ta da!
