Sew Along - Sugar and Spice Bag Part 4






This week, I completed my next steps for my Sugar and Spice bag for the sew along on Chris W Designs Patterns Facebook page.

The outside of the bag now looks like a bag.  There is so much going on with this bag that I cut the piping down to just the pockets.  You wouldn't find them if I didn't pipe them!



The zipper is attached to the lining.




And, the inside of the lining is done with slip pockets made and attached.  I used the bright pink for the pockets so they could be easily found as well.  If I would have used more polka dots, they would have been hard to see.


So, this week I will finish.  I need to finish assembling the lining, make the base sleeve, assemble the bag and attach the straps.  Almost done.

This week, I also have a new bag to test before I can even think about the February bag of the month pattern that just arrived.  I better get sewing!

    It's looking beautiful Marilyn. I'm so behind on mine I'm not sure I'll even get it finished on time.

    It's looking great! The piping on the pockets is perfect! May I ask if those curvy bits Inside the lining by the zipper have a purpose?

      Thanks. I've just completed the bag and I will post it in a few days. The curvy bits are the part of the lining that are sewn to the top of the bag. If you look closely in the picture of the outside of the bag you can see the top of the bag has little scallops.
