The below mentioned bag was my second try at an Erica Bag (by Beki. My first is below:
I purchased this pattern as a download, and couldn’t wait to get rolling on it. This Michael Miller Fabric is left over from this bag:
I actually had it sitting on my sewing table for a different project. But, I was so excited that I had to get cooking on this one right away. So I pulled it out and went to town.
Truthfully, I took this one out for a “test drive” (minus the button) for a few days to see how I liked the style. I liked it a lot, but just think I need a tad bit more room in there - so I’ve blown the pattern up 115% to give it a shot. But I also made another one of these bags (see below) which I ended up keeping. And now my own bigger version will run a “test copy” before I break out my fav fabric that I’ve been hording for the perfect bag for me.
In the meantime, I’ve already decided to turn this one into a Christmas gift for someone special, someone who will never accidentally run into me when I’m carrying my bag with Michael Miller fabric…wouldn’t that be kinda spooky?
