New Bag

I have been thinking to make my new bag  for everyday use.
Finally I made it!!

The pattern is from my local quit shop.  The original  is piecing 6 different pattern(patchwork) to make the outer design.
I have a lot lot of fabrics, however I could not find the best combination for my bag. That is the mystery. :P
Instead of the patchwork, I just used only this fabric.

Yuwa from Japan

Here is the fabric. What a beautiful it is!!
I purchased this beautiful blue flower fabric from YUWA in Japan last spring.
I think this is the best fabric to make a bag.

It contained 55% linen and 45% cotton.  This is thicker than the cotton fabric for quilt, but less  than home deco fabric.
I think half linen fabric is strong and suitable to make a large bag.
Plus the reason why I love this fabric is the texture.
I have never seen these rustic texture + soft touch fabric in US. Why?

This is the buttom.
I attached fleece batting for exterior fabric and also added firm stabilizer( pellon Peltex 71F) to the button.

One pocket. Liner fabric is pre-quilted beige color fabric from Joann.

It looks perfect!

BUT!!  I only did one mistake.......

Can you see the hole top of the magnet button?

Yes,,,,,  I did mistake the position....

Attaching the button is the very last part of process.  I should not have rushed to finish it. 

Anyways, I  love my new bag, so I try to think the positive way! :)

Here is the another one!

Today I made the card case from left over.

Isn't it cute?

Not perfect, but it is ok for me.

Oh! That is my friend business card. Now I can keep it in safe. :)
