Now -- Isn't that the truth!
Anri finished the bag on Sunday and gave it to her Mother for Mothers Day. Sweet girl she is!
It turned out really well - it is just the two fabrics - the lining is the pink fabric as well. There were some technical issues that we discovered with the pattern. The binding really should have been bias binding, it would have been much easier to sew on. Also - it seems that some of the pattern pieces had seam allowances and some did not! I guess if we could have read the Japanese instructions we would have known that. Anri changed the actual design on the bag a bit. Cute bag -- I might have to make one myself (now that I know how)!
That is so great. What an accomplishment for her! Having such a good teacher made all the difference I am thinking. :o)
ReplyDeleteOh.... that is a cute bag. Perhaps you can get Anri to make you one! ;o) lol Glad to read that you had a nice mother's day! Keep well!
ReplyDeleteLove the card! What a lovely bag. Wouldn't mind one myself. ;)
ReplyDeleteFantastic finish from Anri. The bag looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI share ANri's love of Amy Butler, I made all my bridemaids quilts with AMy Butler fabric. Boy was that expensive, but so fun!
ReplyDeleteThat bag is just darling! What a sweetheart to make it for her mom. Happy Mother's Day to you too, and I got a real kick out of the card!
ReplyDeleteThe bag is adorable! Way to go Anri!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Pam, Anri has done a superb job on her bag! Nothing will stop her now .... cute card as well.
ReplyDeleteArni has done a wonderful job on her first bag! A special mention must go to her terrific teacher as well!!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog. And the bag that Anri made is gorgeous. Wish I had a copy of that magazine.
ReplyDeletePam, Anri has been very good and you too.
