Latest completed project for Handmade Christmas!

This is a fleece version of my mimic chest bags. It is made from the same pattern as the vinyl ones, but I find I will need to make adjustments for constructing this bag out of fabrics with more give than the vinyl. However, I’m very pleased with how the chest turned out. It’s also made for a little girl, hence the lace butterflies, brass button, lavender ribbon, and pink satin interior with polka dots. Gee, I hope the recipient likes it.

The exterior is 100% polyester fleece, including the eyebrows. The interior is 100% polyester satin which frayed almost the instant I cut the pattern pieces. Now, I remember why I don’t like working with satin. I did not include the tongue in this one because the recipient said several times that the tongue was “eww” and since this is her bag, she does not have to have the tongue. The colors and butterflies were my doing.

On to the next projects!
