Update on the bag, Part 1

So, yesterday and today I worked some on the bag. Mostly I unstitched the zipper, cut the excess material on top and sewn the zipper back on. Now it looks more like the bags I see on the street.

I've also sewn two pockets on it and some lace. It's not done, not by far. There are some parts that the sewing machine mucked up, but I'll hide it with some lace that I'll buy tomorrow. And yes, it's the sewing machine's fault in some way, because the poor thing wasn't built with thick materials in mind. But the machine got a grade A because it actually did a decent job, although wasn't as good as I hoped, but still. It wasn't that bad. Next time tho I'll remember to get a thicker outside material and a thin inside material just to be on the safe side.

But still, since the purple cloth has threads in the colour of a couple of rainbows, it's pretty hard to find the thread I sewn with. I used gray, blue, brown and purple... even light pink. That's what we had at home and they all blend in nicely.

So. I'll sew on some crocheted flowers, a ladybug button and some assorted adornments I saw on sale on Friday and will buy tomorrow. And yes, green goes well with purple.

Oh and yes, that black thing holding the lace bow in place is a black rose made of a satin ribbon.
