Our Busy Little Bunch: More Phoebe bags . . .

September 29, 2011

More Phoebe bags . . .

After making this bag, I've had a couple friends request one, and I happily obliged. The pattern is the Phoebe Bag by Rebeka Lambert. I would call this a medium size purse, but it's roomy enough to carry a book in addition to my wallet and purse stuff (or for a diaper and wipes case and ditching the diaper bag). The pattern is easy, and I love the finished shape.

Six weeks ago I ordered three yards of Pellon Fusible Fleece, and after ten bags it's almost gone now. It gives such a nice structure to bags and purses, without the stiffness of most interfacings. I'm thinking a bigger purchase is in the near future.
