lo_j said... Lovely! I like the choice of interior fabrics, too. 8/9/12 3:53 PM
Lynn WA said... The straps are attached rather ingeniously! A placement square is embroidered on the bag, then the strap is added and sewn down in a square with an X through it - several times so it's very strong. Then the fabric covering is placed over the strap and embroidered. Everything is firmly held in place. 8/9/12 5:01 PM

sewhappygrams said... Very pretty. I seen this bag/embroidery completed on Sewing with Nancy. Nancy had as a guest Eileen Roche who showed how this bag was machine embroidered and put together. You did a great job. 8/10/12 4:01 PM
Lynn WA said... HDWen, I updated the link to the handbag software, so check it out! They still have it, just on a different page. 8/10/12 4:27 PM

whistlin dixie said... A very nice bag! I like the combinations of colors, fabrics and embroidery. 8/11/12 11:47 PM
SheBear0320 said... Amazing bag -- looks very expensive. Did you use anything in the handles or are they just 2 layers of fabric. 8/12/12 7:46 PM
Lynn WA said... SheBear0320 - I cut the straps 2" wide and used a medium weight iron on interfacing for the entire width. I folded it in 1/2" on each side; then I cut a 1" strip (yellow), interfaced it as well, folded it 1/4" on each side, laid it over the center of the wider strap and seweed along each edge. It was easy to do and the best part was no turning a tube yet all the raw edges are enclosed. 8/13/12 1:15 PM
