When my sister saw the little bag I made for myself for Becky’s Wedding, she asked me to make one of her to wear to Stefanie’s wedding. She bought the fabric to match her mother of the bride dress. Today I made my sister’s bag for her.
My sister's evening bag
This bag is not very big at all–that is a 12 oz Coke sitting next to it. I put it in the pic to show how small this bag is. It will be big enough, though, to hold all the things my sister needs on the day of the wedding–some tissues, lipstick, extra batteries for her camera, her cellphone.
It has a magnetic closure so it will stay closed.
You can’t tell much by this pic, but the bag was made with three layers–one layer of rayon lining, one layer of a glitter sheer fabric, and one layer of lace. They are beautiful together, but they were a PITA to sew! Linda, I love you, but don’t ever ask me to make anything again that is made with slick fabric. I’m just sayin…..
Another view with a button
Here is another view with a glittery rhinestone button pinned on. Do you like it plain, or with the button?
You sure are willing to take on some humdingers!
I guess I just love to sew, Judy. Bring em on!
My Seester….so sorry that it was a PITA for you, it is beautiful and I like it WITH the button. I look at it as a labor of love and I felt that the “care” package of colored peeps & chocolate were fare trade. I don’t forsee any other sewing projects for you in the near future. thanks.
I see it as a labor of love, too. You really didn’t have to send the peeps. I enjoyed making the bag, it’s just the fabric that I hated–it is hard to work with slick stuff.
Great evening bag…being able to sew is an awesome talent — I should’ve paid more attention in Home Ec class:)
So pretty, something to be treasured for years to come.
It’s very pretty even if a b..ch to make. Fabric looks a lot like your dress.
You did a great job and I totally feel you on the fabrics! Silk, satins, and lace are always a nightmare.
Very professional looking! And I love the color and fabric–or, I should say, fabrics!
