Back in November I was commissioned to make a Mirabelle Messenger Bag for a local friend. Luckily, she's very patient and understanding, because I just finished it yesterday.
Since the print is directional, I cut the gusset band in 2 pieces so that the dolls wouldn't be upside down at the top on one side.
The fabric is so pretty and looks really great with the pink piping and lining. I ended made the piping (using this tutorial) and bias tape myself so that everything would match perfectly.
I hope she loves it!
This bag is really cute! I just found your Blog. I like the projects you did so far! .......and the pics of my Country :-) Greetings from Switzerland

DeleteIt's beautiful - very striking colours! I only discovered your Russian Doll bag after I'd made one myself - great minds! But luckily the dolls fabric I used has dolls in both directions so I didn't have to worry about them appearing upside down - they were already like that. I've added mine to your Flickr group.
