The butterfly bag you made is gorgeous and much more trendy than the original one, due to the color and flowers you used.Thanks for the review.

what a great bag! the color pink is so perfect for the shape. I like your's better than the Armani one.

I really like your version of this bag. The pink and ultrasued work great. I like your flowers, too. I agree that the size of this purse is quite large. Cute, though!!

thanks for the neat idea of burning the ultrasuede! That's a new one for me. Beautiful bag.

(: what pretty flowers! did you freehand them? i'm very impressed. Your bag is great! I wouldn't have guessed it to be a big one...bigness is kind of appealing actually...hmmm...

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!

I think it is flat out gorgeous. The applique is just awesome, I am very much into that type of applique!

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?

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.

Really pretty! The color is just beautiful. I'm with Cambric Tea, the larger size is appealing to me too.

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.

Gigi - you made a really good point about making sure a bag is in proportion to the rest of you.

Great bag! The pattern photo does not do justice to the bag's potential but you did. I think I'll try that pattern.

Someone mentioned your butterfly bag on the boards so I had to search it out. She was right, it is very inspirational. Bags are addicting!
