Another Savannah....

Today I FINALLY finished another Savannah.....I started this one weeks ago BUT I didn't get time to finish it until now. This one is Black Canvas with a gorgeous Michael Miller fabric as a contrast. I LOVE this fabric!

Looks smart, don't you think?

Savannah Under the Flap!

I get my gorgeous Michael Miller Fabrics from Michelle at Hypernoodle Fabrics on Etsy. Michelle pairs the fabric up in duos and trios which sure makes it easy to choose when buying online! Do check out her Etsy store!

Interfacing/Stabiliser Alternatives!

Ahhh the dreaded Interfacing/stabiliser topic again! LOL One of the most common queries I receive from fellow bag makers purchasing my patterns, is which interfacings/stabilisers can I suggest as an alternative to the ones I have used in my patterns. Mostly because the ones I have used are not available to them or where I am not specific enough as to which ones are suitable. (Like when I say “Medium weight interfacing”)

So I have put together a guide of alternative products which I hope you will find helpful!

Note while NOT identical products, the weight and hand of these products are similar to those I use so you should achieve results similar to that which would be achieved using the products I have used! :)
