Hi there!
I'm happy to tell you that my SKofW Bag is finished!
... however, it does not look exactly the same as Anni's bag in the book...
Maybe I explain a little why I made - again - some changes.
First I have plenty of those crocheted flowers and I hadn't yet figured where I'll use them. After I choose the fabric for the bag, I decided not to embroider it... mainly because it's black and thin... the tracing of the stitchery on this fabric would have been difficult. Then I remembered those flowers and bling! I got the idea! I will applique my bag! I enlarged the cat and the butterfly about 120%.
Then the handles are longer, because I want to carry the bag over my shoulder. I cut 30" long handle stripes. The solid beige strips sit on the upper side of the handle... not on the underside...
And I didn't make a small back opening.
Well, my SKofW Bag is a little simplified, but I like it ;o)
Hopefully you too enjoy making of this bag as much as I enjoyed!
See you in June!
