Postage extra.Grace for the Moment #2 is made from one of the fabulous fabrics (over $100 per yd) donated by Cheryl – Thanks! It is from Belgium and is called Symphony - Blue Agate. It is 70% viscose and 30% cotton and has a raised pile in a zigzag design.
The flap features a braid bow in coordinating colors, on brown velvet with the top in blue and brown fabric. The front is the main fabric with a pocket trimmed with braid and is made of a contrasting striped fabric.
The back of the bag is brown, heavy cotton and has a triple pocket of the main fabric, topped in brown velvet with a daisy patterned fabric for added interest. The sides, bottom and under strap are brown cotton. I top stitched in blue for a fun contrast.
I used pieces of all the fabrics on the strap to tie it all together. The strap measures 48 ½”, a little longer than usual, and is all one piece – no knot.
I had fun sewing the lining using the striped fabric on the diagonal on the under flap and pieces of brown, daisy patterned cotton blend with a striped piece in between. The four pockets in the lining are fuller than the usual pockets for easier access. The pockets are a sturdy striped cotton topped with daisies.
The bag measures 13" x 11" x 2½", a little smaller than our regular bag.
Editor's Note: The attention to detail in this bag is amazing. Exquisite work Grace!
