Ruffled Goodness

I recently bought a new Sew Serendipity

bag pattern.....Lola Gypsy Bag 

And it is now my FAVORITE bag of all time!!!!

I have one of Kay's books and many of her patterns

and I have to say they are the best. I get the best fit 

when I use her patterns. Sometimes I use them completely

as written....and other times they are the inspiration and the 

basic foundation of my project. 

This one is a fun pattern for sure.

I did ad trim to the top of my upper ruffle because

I sewed them on differently the how it is done in the pattern.

I am trying to use up my fabric stash and didn't want to buy anything

for this bag.....therefore my fabric weight is a little heavier than is ideal.

I also used a lightweight houdstooth canvas for the bag body and didn't use any additional

interfacing for the bag itself. For inside pockets....I line both sides of the lining with an 8" deep pocket

across the entire width of the front and back, that is then sectioned into three pockets each side, for a total of

6 wonderful, deep pockets for keeping pens, cell phone, lipstick,calender, and such organized. 

I will be carrying this one for a long time....I think I need a few more perhaps :)
