It's Complicated!


This is one of the most complicated things I've ever sewn, on a par with the lined velvet jackets I once made for my daughter and myself.   I had to read parts of the pattern several times before I grasped them. That's not a criticism of Maria Wallin's Biabag tutorial, you understand, just a reflection of my own inexperience at this type of construction. Don't panic, don't panic, I kept muttering the catch phrase from Dad's Army. Anyway, I have completed it and I have learnt how to insert zippered pockets into a bag, which was the object of the exercise.

  1. Now that does look like a labour of love, Jane. Well done on 'getting there'.

  2. Your bag is beautiful! I often give up on complicated patterns. When I do see them through, I'm usually happy with the end results. It's good to challenge ourselves!

  3. I so admire people who can make bags like this, it is fantastic, well done. I am afraid my patience would have been tested when following such instructions, sounded so difficult.
