Lisa's Bag is DONE!



So I finally finished Lisa's bag... it turned into a more complicated project than I thought it was going to be. I had to make some size adjustments to it to accommodate her camera. But since I always turn into a zombie while cutting and sewing I made a few mistakes here and there... The inside "camera parts" portion was the tuff part. I almost didn't think I would be able to squeeze it into the bag!

The Start to Lisa's Bag


Sooo... I've got all of the pieces cut and ready to go. Last night I started fusing on the batting and then discovered that I hate the way the fusible batting looks when trying to gather the material for the outsides of the bag. With the other bags I made I used just regular ol' batting so they have that poofy look to them. With the fusible batting they look way to stiff and rigid. So I spent the rest of my night ripping off the fusing for the outsides. Fortunately its perfect for the lining since there is no gathering inside! Lucky for me I had some regular batting already cut! YAY!
