26th June 2013 - Project "Viola"

I've to give another sewing project a try, a bit more difficult than the last one before I start working on my mum's summerbag, my laptop bag and the insane amount of cosmetic bags and clutch bags I am intending to sew for family and friends for birthdays and the upcoming Christmas season.

Thanks to Dropbox, I've uploaded the pictures from the book. While watching Coco Before Chanel  I started to trace the pattern piece from the book. Next step will be picking a fabric - not sure yet - and pinning the pattern piece to get the fabrics ready.

Here is the design for "Viola" by Miriam Dornemann from her book "Tolle Taschen selbst genäht":

Not the greatest picture but I think you can get the idea. I will replace the turquoise pieces of the bag with double-side fabric pieces. Not sure about leather yet.

And my pattern pieces

Have the feeling something is missing though. Will find out during the sewing process. The little arrows indicate the direction they need to be pinned on the farbic to follow the farbic's grain.

Will record my process. Wish me luck!
