Noodlehead is rightly famous for her bag patterns. Although I like to design my own, this one tempted me. After last week's expensive project, this is a free pattern and I had most of the stuff I needed in stock. The pattern called for one yard of the main fabric but I managed to use only half a yard. Perhaps this Echino fabric is wider than normal.
As fabric was in short supply I only added one pocket.
This leather popper thingy was bought from U-handbag a while ago. She still has them, in lots of colours. As I did not use a contrast fabric for the pocket, I thought it would help to make the pocket more visible.
Another modification was the zip tabs I put in at each end of the zip.
Here is the lining showing the patch pocket. If you have good eyes you will see a few cat hairs.
Here is the guilty cat. Does she care?
TGIFF Friday!
What a beautiful bag. I love the fabrics you have used and the leather popper strap on the pocket is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful bag! Love the fabric and the popper strap. I have a couple of Noodlehead patterns as her bags always look just right - roomy without being enormous. You should be very proud of your lovely bag!
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous! Makes me wish I was a better bag maker so I could try it myself...
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've looked at your lovely blog and I'm sure you could do this pattern.
