Nicki describes this bag as "the perfect canvas for embellishment". And indeed it is.
Sometime ago I played with screen printing some foil adhesive and applying metallic foils. I printed some denim and put it away.
I cut out this bag, and put it away.
Finally, it has been made!
All pieces (except for the strap) were interfaced and pelloned.
Magnetic closure inserted.Template plastic used for a firm bottom.
I used decorative stitch #86 on my Bernina Activa - which has a double or triple hand stitch type of effect - one of my faves!
Plenty of further scope for play with this pattern - and highly suitable for males!

It's just beautiful Gay. Terrific combination of pattern, embellishment, colour and embroidery. I wish that my machine did a stitch like that!
ReplyDeleteWow i love it!!!! it's creative,cute and wonderful. Good job
ReplyDeleteThe foil pattern looks amazing! What a great way to design your own fabric. The decorative stitching really pops on the denim.
