the bag from H_ _L!


This bag took me 2 days to complete! It was a ROYAL pain in the REAR! I bought a pattern....first problem - I don't make bags by patterns! - but it was SO cute and I thought it would be perfect for the little girls in MolliKate's class for birthday presents. It's just the right size! Well, first off, the lining has a different pattern piece than the outside. They NEVER match up, and of course, this one was no acception. When I put it together, the lining was ALOT shorter than the outside, and crooked, while looking at the pictures that came with the pattern (you know, step by step!- yeah Right!) it said to put wrong sides to right sides, on one picture, then the next one showed it the opposite way which really confused me, so, it's made by a pattern, it's lined, but it has lots of my little touches to it. Like I had to re-cut several pieces to get it to match properly, and something really screwy with the pocket on the inside and side pieces and UGH!!!!! I'm just glad I'm finished and I better NOT get any orders from ANYONE at school for this bag or they will be totally astonished at the cost of such a small bag!
