Here is a pic of the latest. This is the Bulls Eye Hobo bag pattern by Stitch Divas. As you can see, I changed the color and instead of Berroco Cotton Twist, I used Berroco Touché. I did use the Berroco Suede and even put some in the granny squares for interest. I would do two things differently.
1. I used a black and white toile to line the bag. It is a directional print I sewed it so when you look inside the bag the print is horizontal! Not my brightest moment.
2. I would round the corners of the granny squares that are on the bottom. The way you sew the gusset to the front and back makes the bottom want to round, instead of square. I think it would “shape” a little better that way.
The best part was the Bedazzler! Wow! I could really get carried away with that little beauty.
It look’s great Roe!
I take that as real compliment coming from you.
wicked bag roe!
I would love to use the same colors used in your bag. Could you please tell me the colors used? I’ve already bought the pattern from Stitch Diva.
Thanks,
Carolyn
I am flattered that you like the colors. I have to admit that I am pleased with it. If you go on Berroco’s site some of the colors appear more vibrant than they really are. I think my photo does a pretty good job of capturing the real colors. I think I got the order right but I know these are the colors-I still have the ball bands! Here they are:
Berroco Touché
A: (Black) Jet 7999
B: (Burgundy) Shiraz 7922
C: Green Tea 7930
D: Blue Carnation 7921
F: (Lt. Pink) Toe Shoe 7990
Berroco Suede
E: (a leathery orange) Holster 3718
Gusset and strap: Zorro 3729
Roe
