Does anyone else procrastinate like I do? I ordered this fabric from Spoonflower back in October 2015 but as that was also coming up to finals for Uni I put it away under my bed and forgot about it. Then in December when moving I found it again and decided to do something with it. I took photos and cut it out. I made the keyfob and again the rest was put aside due to life's circumstances. Now four months later it has yet again resurfaced and this time I plan on finishing it.
The fabric is linen-cotton canvas, for a sturdy bag. It cost me $27US for the fabric and I bought it on a free shipping day (yay for free shipping!!)
The instructions suggest using a fusible fleece. Of course I thought I knew better and didn't. Just like I thought using the canvas was the best idea for a strong bag. Bad idea on both counts. The canvas makes it incredibly difficult to sew, and doesn't exactly make it a soft bag to touch. I might order it again in a quilting weight and use the fusible fleece.
I want to start other projects but feel like I owe it to myself and this bag to finish it before I start anything else, including the octopus skirt. Yet for some reason it sits on the ironing board waiting to be ironed before I can finish it.
