here's the reversible bucket bag that i made recently following the sew along group hosted by my botang :). i managed to get it done before the due date which is on march 14th as im heading for a holiday break starting the end of this week.

| 2 pockets (as i dont intend to use it inside out :)) |
there were mainly 2 new things that ive learned throughout this bag making process. first, ive never made anything with round or oval base :) so i find this a little peculiar especially trying to smooth out the uneven pleats around the corners ;p . second, making bias tape and putting it around the bag as a handle. i find it not difficult at all ! the only drawback is the pattern instruction does not stated you to put interfacing for the bias tape and i find that being a little filmsy for the handles. im so used to more structured ones :)

anyway its fun making it and i might sew it again (with more stiffer handles hehe).
til then. happy sewing :)
neat work Nadia and super fast.. senyap-2 aje dah siap.. hehehe

I want to ask you about the double stitching you did on the binding.. any reason for doing it? does it make the binding/handle straight (as some have said the result of the bias tape was uneven or not smooth)
cantik.. a pocket inside is a good idea. I found it a bit difficult to organise my things without a pocket
ReplyDeletewahh..cantiknya.. love bunga2 hijau kuning biru tu.. :) alahai bila my one nak siap ni... huhu
ReplyDeleteRedup nye warna biru tu...rasanye kite kene modify sikit pattern granny bag nih ikut peredaran masa..Granny masa kini muda2 so handle kene sturdy and keras supaya selesa digenggam ekk.
ReplyDeletesue, i actually thought it was sewn that way as thats how i sew my bags handles :P anyway the most reasonable reason is double stitched makes it look better/nicer. if the bias is not even, it could have been that you've stretch it while sewing. dont stretch or pull. just sew!
