Unfurled

Yesterday Ashley made an Oxblood and pink Kate tote that is bound for the Bay Area. Here's a snap of the bag in its flat state - you can see both the outside, and the lining of the purse - all trimmed in a lovely pink and chocolate jacquard ribbon.

The Kate is our biggest style, so at this point in the construction, its well over five feet long! That's the top of Ashley's face at the top and her little toes poking out the bottom.

The next step in production is folding and pinning the bag inside out, installing a magnetic snap closure, sewing around the perimeter, turning right side out, and - voila - big, lovely tote.

Wow, cool! Never having made a bag, I don't think it would occur to me to construct it that way.
