I've finished the Amy Butler Blossom Bag. It's taken me a long time because I would work on it a little bit at a time. I had finished cutting out all the pieces the other day and I sat down today determined to finish it. It is by no means perfect and there are defentaly parts where I could improve upon. But it is my first post-wedding project that took more than 5 minutes.
I did not change the pattern or make any amends to it at all. However, I did use an apparel fabric instead of a home decor fabric for the exterior. The interfacing that the pattern called for is called Peltex 70. What a amazing interfacing, it is very stiff but still fexible at the same time. If you want to try the pattern out for yourself you can find it here at Sew, Mama, Sew! or you can but Amy Butler's book, Amy Butler’s Style Stitches: 12 Easy Ways to 26 Wonderful
It is much bigger than I anticpated but I'm excited for a new purse!
You did a great job on this purse! I've been eying that pattern too, but it's still on my "to-do" list. The fabrics that you used are really pretty. Thanks for sharing it with us!
