Hilary said... Wow, Gigi! I *love* your bag!! The flowers are gorgeous! Thanks for the great tips, too. I love Peltex, also, having recently discovered it on a project for my DH. Great review! 9/14/05 7:01 PM
Eli said... I think it is flat out gorgeous. The applique is just awesome, I am very much into that type of applique! 9/14/05 7:48 PM
Danvillegirl said... Your bag is gorgeous. I just purchased this pattern and purchased tapestry fabric from Equilter to sew it up. Your review is most helpful. Where did you purchase the Peltex. Is this similar to Fast2Fuse or Timtex? 9/14/05 8:26 PM
violinit said... Wow, Gigi, the bag is just fabulous! I love the appliqué and thank you for the tip of burning the edge of the Ultrasuede. I have to say I really like this pattern and I’ve made four already. The next one has to have appliqué! Thanks Gigi, for being so inspirational and always helpful. 9/15/05 1:11 AM

Gigi Louis said... Thank you all for your wonderful comments! :-) Linda L, you can buy Peltex at JoAnn's in the interfacing section. It comes in single-sided fusible and double-sided (for fabric bowls). Finally, a Pellon product that I actually love. 9/15/05 7:36 AM
