The Studio Kat Boho Bag is Finished!

The bag, it is finished! I can't beleive how easy this pattern came together. After all the pissing and moaning I did about all the pieces, it just came together.



Pic of the lining. If you like this design, definetly try this bag. It comes together so easy and they results are great!

The Boho Baugette bag in progress.

Whoo-Hoo! Progress! This is probably one of the more involved projects i've ever done, but the directions are so well written that things seem to be moving along without any problems so far. Good thing Melody from FashionistaFabrics lives down the street from me, and she was able to supply me with the D rings, or that would have been a trip to JoAnns. Which would have hindered my progress. Not good!

First up is a picture of the bottom. I have to say, I am not used to using so many pins. I'm more of a one-two pin kind of girl, but I want to do this right.



Next is attaching the top lining...



Last but not least is where i'm going to finish for the night. I have the straps and D rings and snaps on, and i'm putting on the casing for the drawstrings.



So far, this has been a fairly easy project. Keep in mind that I have been taking careful steps to make sure that I have all my pattern markings and pieces handy (which I don't usually do a very good job of that) I'm meeting with my sewing group tomorrow, so hopefully i'll be able to get more done. At this rate, I might be done by the end of the weekend!

I started a Purse sew along on patternreview, if you're interested.

StudioKat Boho Baguette pattern Pieces!

WOW!

That's all I can say!

Here are all the traced pieces to the Boho Baguette bag from StudioKat.




Some pieces are for lining only, some for exterior only and some for fusiables. There is going to be a lot of cutting going on here! lol I did read through the instructions though, and the pattern seems simple enough if you can get through the cutting part. I'll be starting on this tonight.

On a side note: Anyone who use Blogger have any issues uploading pics to the blogger site? I can't upload any. I have to use Photobucket and then link them to Blogger.

Fabric.Com and StudioKat

I have to say that i'm impressed! Ordered fabric from Fabric.com on Sunday, and it showed up at my door this afternoon (Thursday).





I bought two cuts of sweater knits (just when it's finally warm enough in Michigan to wear shorts - almost). 4 yards of red poplin, 2.5 yards of silk shirting for DH and a black and white polka dot jersey. I'm not too impressed with the jersey, but that's ok, I wasn't expecting much. I also bought three cones of serger thread, but we all know that thread is NOT exciting! Overall, I am very happy with my order and their service. I will be ordering from them again. I'm trying to get away from JoAnns, and expierences like this just might do it.

Speaking of JoAnns...

I just ordered the Boho Baguette purse pattern from StudioKat patterns. I can't wait for it to get here! I was in JoAnns today to get a pattern and I bought two cuts of fabric for the bag. I just love purple!
