Heirloom Bag - July 28, 2007


Read above for the real story of the heirloom bag. This was an enjoyable experience. In hindsight I will say that I am not overly interested in the heirloom style, but it is good to know what our machines are capable of. The problem with this type of project is: sewing in a straight line is way harder than you think. I'll need some tips if I am going to repeat this project. I did find out about the wing needle that makes great little holes in your fabric as you sew decorative stitches. I bought one to play with, I thought I may even be able to use it for more modern designs to add a touch of texture.

No intentions of doing this again.
