I gave in and splurged on a little Far Far Away 2 recently. I'm proud of myself for not hoarding it - within two days I dove right in and started cutting it up!
I love this color combo for an early fall bag, and I'm loving this Bracelet Bag pattern by Keyka Lou too! It was fun learning how to make those cute circular handles, and I finally understand what the sewing term "facing" is all about. Aha!
The exterior fabric is Roses in Dusk and the interior fabric is Moon and Stars in Tangerine. I also have to mention that I love this lightweight cotton canvas. It's so perfect for bag making and so easy to work with.
Aaaaannnndddd . . . after dragging my feet for at least the past six months, I have finally opened an Etsy shop! Let's just call this a soft opening, since my only item listed is this Bracelet Bag. More to come soon!
If you want to visit my teeny tiny shop, click here.
Happy sewing!
