I recommend buying a couple of reels of high quality thread for top-stitching as you’ll be going through a fair few layers. Quilting the back panel with different colours was super fun. Top-stitching was a delight for this project and truly makes the bag unique.

I’m glad I did because it gave the backpack a sturdy and professional feel, though I did break a needle and bend pins whilst sewing the two foam pieces together. I decided to make things difficult for myself by adding Bosal In-R-Form single sided fusible foam to the contrast base and back panel. Everything is interfaced! The waxed cotton with mid-weight fusible interfacing and the lining with light weight fusible interfacing.

The fabric was a mix of Ankara wax fabric from Dovetailed London and quilting cotton from Crafty Sew & So (i mention Crafty a lot in this post, full disclosure I do volunteer with those lovely ladies though none of what I’m writing is sponsored). However, when I got to the sewing I was absolutely in love with the process. I’ve created a few totes, shopping bags before but this one had so many more pattern pieces! I actually made a matching Carry All Bag from Crafty Sew & So but forgot to take a photo! To be perfectly honest I was thinking I would never make a bag again by the time I cut out and interfaced all the pieces. It’s the first complex bag I made on my own. I have been desperate to share this for some time, now my little sisters birthday has passed I can at last. Thanks for reading folks, Stay safe if you can who knows maybe it wont be another six months before I post here again If you’re interesting in seeing more of my makes, I’ll be posting each day on Instagram at rebekah_creates (internet permitting). Next week may be a little repetitive as I’m going away and hope to pack light, still I plan to wear one handmade item everyday, even if there may be a couple of repeats. The thick, high waistband ensures everything stays were it should, without being too restrictive. My absolute favourite is the floral Sirocco Jumpsuit, it’s unbelievably soft and effortlessly elegant, not to mention, it has pockets! Coming in a close second is the Active Ware Leggings, these are my go to pilates gear. Get up, get dressed, take the dang photo.
Thanks to the wonderful full length mirror I have in my brand new sewing room MeMadeMay has been a lot easier this year. Seeing as we’re nearly half way through the month I thought I’d show off a curated selection of my finest outfits. The photos are just for fun, and maybe to look back at when I don’t know what to wear. This year I pledged to wear one handmade item of clothing everyday. However Me-Made-May is here again! For the uninitiated Me-Made-May is a challenge designed to encourage people who make their own clothes to develop a better relationship with their handmade wardrobe. Lock-down, house renovations, various mental health crisis’s, and a new diagnosis has left very little room for anything else. Thanks for reading folks, wash your hands, wear a mask, stay safe if you can I paused in making it because I needed elastic to stabilise the shoulders, that hopefully won’t take too long to put together once I get cracking on it again. I’ve another sirocco, hacked with a Joni top, on the go. First is a pretty wrap top hacked from a woven jumpsuit, I’m playing around with shirring though not sure how it will work on the wrap front, the back looks gorgeous though. There’s a fair few UFO’s (unfinished makes) floating around me which i hope to finish over the next month or two. Mathide blouse from TIlly and the Buttons.I think it would have been possible this year if I hadn’t gone away or done a bit more planning. Next year I will challenge myself to wear a unique me made item each day. This may has been colder than most, but summer seems to be coming into it’s own now. It’s been good practise choosing outfits for all those events that seem to filling my calendar. Good timing too, as lockdown is easing and I’ve been ever so social. I’ve had a splendid time trying on all my makes.
May has flown by and we’re already five days into June.
