The Planning Stage-Weekender

A few weeks ago I saw someone carrying a cute little Vera Bradley cross-body small purse.  So I went searching and I saw her weekender bag and I knew it was something I could make.  I wanted to make something with a fabric I love and a customized pattern to fit my needs.

I chose the line Good Fortune by Kate Spain for Moda.

The Outside

The Lining

Accent/Binding

 Here is the bag I am choosing as inspiration (from the QVC website)

I will start by making a paper pattern and then there is cutting and then a ton of quilting before construction can begin.
