How happy I am to be catching up with messages, I can't read the messages every day, but today I decided to sit down with my computer and spend a few hours visiting my favorite blogs! This bag you have donne is just " beautiful", I like the colors and I like the design. Thanks for letting us know it's a free pattern... from here I'm going to look for that pattern. Nice job Maria, I like how you combined the fabrics!!!!. Congratulations for having survived two weeks without internet ... I do not know how I would have done :)<br />Marisa from http://passionetcouture.blogspot.ca/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09581063029386747642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774548682390634156.post-60667706549918670522013-11-05T07:07:31.208+03:302013-11-05T07:07:31.208+03:30Welcome back - I figured you were getting lots of ...Welcome back - I figured you were getting lots of sewing done, and I bet you did!

I picked up a skirt at a thrift store recently that I plan on turning into a bag--the skirt fabric colors are similar to the fabric you've used here, so I know this bag pattern could be a possibility based on your version. :)<br /><br />I appreciate you letting me know that I'm on "no reply", but I have to admit I'm not sure what to do to change that. I'll look into it! Thanks again!<br /><br />KristaMrsSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05059609471160531234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774548682390634156.post-69980690607236050582013-11-04T23:28:57.880+03:302013-11-04T23:28:57.880+03:30Hi Krista

Hopefully you will check back and see this reply.<br />Thanks for stopping by and venturing in to say hello. You guessed right, this particular upholstery fabric can't be ironed. If I did it would shrink unevenly. Some other upholstery fabrics are fine, it's a case of experimenting by ironing small pieces of fabrics to see how they react to heat. Since I use upholstery fabrics a lot I have come to recognize which ones can and can't be ironed but when in doubt I test a piece.<br />Hope you'll pop back often. I love receiving comments.<br /><br />MariaMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02508301512686376866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774548682390634156.post-30280231454519687792013-11-04T21:24:17.721+03:302013-11-04T21:24:17.721+03:30This bag is beautiful--I've admired your work ...This bag is beautiful--I've admired your work from afar, but now I am venturing in to say "hello"!<br /><br />I'm fairly new to the bag-sewing world, and I'm enjoying it a lot--even the hunts for the right hardware.<br /><br />I have a question for you--you said that you quilted the fabric and batting because you couldn't use the fusible kind (the quilting is a wonderful design detail!); why is that? Is it because the upholstery fabric can't be pressed? I am interested to know!<br /><br />I'm looking forward to viewing more of your projects for inspiration!<br /><br />KristaMrsSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05059609471160531234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774548682390634156.post-69397376219134549942013-11-04T08:53:42.941+03:302013-11-04T08:53:42.941+03:30Oh, so glad you are back Maria!

I hope you had a wonderful day and treated yourself to something special on your birthday.<br />I saw your Kennedy bag along with all the other bag testers and I downloaded the pattern for it. In fact I cut all the pieces out yesterday to make mine. I am going to make a few changes though to my bag. I love how yours is quilted and that darker accent fabric looks like leather! Fantastic work as usual my friend! I will be spending the day working on my bag. I hope it looks half as good as yours does, lol.Daryl @ Patchouli Moon Studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06187456682218408410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4774548682390634156.post-37540666005508500022013-11-03T16:24:09.506+03:302013-11-03T16:24:09.506+03:30I like the bag, a lot!
