He said "it is so cute!...Darius LOVES the bag. He said "it is so cute! Since I love that bag so much right now, I'm going to snuggle with the quilt she made me." <br /><br />I love it, too! And, you'll be proud to know that for the first time in probably 2 years, I had my sewing machine out last night. It was just to fix a zipper, but it felt good!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205737257301534685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22924666.post-67030146040792399372010-09-21T12:37:51.905-04:002010-09-21T12:37:51.905-04:00Love the French seams!!!Love the French seams!!!Shaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06231502195686700634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22924666.post-54764386539824289582010-09-20T22:26:40.629-04:002010-09-20T22:26:40.629-04:00Awesome!

There's pretty a good one <a href="http://www.sewneau.com/how.to/french.seam.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> that should help you out.<br /><br />The weirdest thing is the first seam -- you sew with wrong sides together and it doesn't feel right when you're doing it. But it turns out great, so I'm all for it.<br /><br />As for the collaborative project, Shayne and I have been expanding on the idea off-blog, so look for a post from us soon about what we're going to be doing. It should be fun!kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07832228313612518377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22924666.post-81280883549447342942010-09-20T10:02:34.887-04:002010-09-20T10:02:34.887-04:00First of all, that fabric ROCKS!

That was thing I disliked the most with my bag. How did you do them? Was there a tutorial you used? I'd love to try that on another bag. It looks much more finished without having to add a lining.<br /><br />Oh, and I was going to comment on your other post re: the 17 month collaborative project, but I didn't want to interrupt your intimate conversation! I think that sounds like so much fun and I can't wait to see what you two come up with!emily bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621068879027327365noreply@blogger.com
