Purse Pattern Chronicles- Where I Left Off

Remember this fabric? I pulled it out and started working with in November when I first began work on this new design, but then I got sidetracked and had to set everything aside for a while... until today that is!

I loved this fabric from the moment i saw it. That's why I didn't want to use it on this bag until I was pretty sure I was happy with the design components. And indeed, I am pretty happy with the components now.

The top areas have been adjusted a little and I think this silhouette is more pleasing now. It seem more ruffly, but not too much.


Here's a closeup of the double ruffle area. The inner ruffle height is lower and the bottom ruffle is just a little deeper than in my last post. Amazing how a small change like this can make such a difference.

And now for the name... are you ready? I've decided to call this bag the "Carolina CarryAll". I haven't used the term carryall yet, and most of you know that North Carolina is where I call home. I like the two words together, and I hope you do too.

So there you have it. I know I promised a sneek peek this time at the Secret Pocket area, but it pouring rain out, and It's just not photographing well with a flash. Maybe next time?
