Annie- oh said... This is gorgeous. It must make you feel wonderful to take it out. And I understand about the button - my DD's and I use buttons from my greatgrandmother's sister's button box - a lovely touch for your bag. 2/29/08 10:55 PM
Kateo said... I just bought this pattern yesterday--thank you for such a complete review (and adding so many helpful pictures). I'm sorry it was difficult, but I really appreciate the help you've given me. Hopefully the trouble you had with your fabric will become a distant memory after you use this gorgeous bag a few times, it's very, very pretty. 3/1/08 8:22 AM
VictoriaR said... Beautiful work. I bought this pattern too, only after did I realize it might not accommodate a computer electrical cord. Am I right? 3/1/08 9:02 AM

Sewingmi said... Your computer case is beautiful! Thanks for the good tips on working with brocade - maybe I'll just avoid it for now! But, yours turned out really nice. 3/1/08 1:23 PM

This is gorgeous. It must make you feel wonderful to take it out. And I understand about the button - my DD's and I use buttons from my greatgrandmother's sister's button box - a lovely touch for your bag.
