What ! ? Another ?

I'm on a roll now ! ! ! !
Second finish in as many days.

Carolina Carry All

Studio Kat Designs 

Seven pages of instructions

fifty-nine steps of instruction ! ! !

Sounds overwhelming, doesn't it.

I thought so too but found that this is a very easy bag to make.

 

Having this many steps facilitates the process

even if you have several days or several weeks between sewing stints. I made it a point to stop at the end of one step before I quit for the day.

  By doing so I was able to pick up exactly where I left off.

No time spent trying to figure out where in the pattern I should begin again.

Step by step it was easy to make progress with each sewing session.

 

I used a couple of really cool batiks with just enough color to keep me smiling.

This bag has a gusset as the bottom and part way up the sides in both the exterior and in the lining.
I love it's baggy style.

Here you can see the 'secret pockets' at the center of either side of the bag between the exterior and lining.

Studio Kat's method of making the handles is one I've never tried so gave her way a try and found it went together easily.
They're long enough to carry on my shoulder or
if I'd rather I could shorten the handles by making a cute knot.

You can see the interior is roomy.
The magnet snap holds it closed.
This bag, like the Simply Chic Carry All, I'll make in a couple of different fabrics.

So . . . . . . .
what's next ?
