Was the thicker fabric hard to use in the purse? It is beautiful!!!

colleen53 08-28-2010 06:40 PM

the fabric comes all embroideried like that.. i just added the fusible batting and put it together.. i didn't want to quilt on it... it didn't need anything from me in that area !!

no,, i don't think it was much different... i did it on my 1941 singer.. it handled it just fine.. and this particular fabric isn't heavy... i enjoyed watching this one come alive.. can't wait to finish it up.. i am going to do another one just like it but in reverse..

Oh, I have to say that is the prettiest bow tuck I've seen. I love that fabric!!!! What a beautiful job you've done.

Sadiemae 08-28-2010 06:45 PM

Reversing the fabrics will also be absolutely gorgeous. A whole different personality.

colleen53 08-28-2010 06:46 PM

thankyou everyone.. i will repost tomorrow when i finish it up... then stay tune for the reverse model.. she sent a yard of each.. but it is much wider so i can get two out of it.. the next one will be the ruby on top and green on bottom...

Beautiful fabrics ... you are a wonderful friend!

Very pretty! I love the fabrics, and had wondered how it would turn out in the heavier weighted ones. Nice to know it sews perfectly fine with them.

You did a wonderful job - and the look is very luscious (for a purse!).

The bag is beautiful! I have seen many on here and tonight I finally ordered the pattern so I can make one for myself. Can't wait to get it as I already have lots of fabric to choose from.
