What’s in the Bag?

Pretty Peacock Cross Body BagAre you curious what goes into the making of a bag?  I don’t mean the hours, but the materials.  OK, you probably are not THAT interested but thought I’d share just the same.

  • Pattern
  • One yard of fabric and lining
  • One half yard faux leather
  • Three yards of woven interfacing

  • One half yard craft fuse
  • One quarter yard firm stabilizer
  • Two brass zippers
  • One bag zipper
