We interviewed Yui about her creation:
Kokka Fabric (KF): What did you think of the fabric you used for this project?
It is a pretty fabric and has an impactful dot motif that makes it unique.
To distinguish the crisp colors, a simple design fabric is combined.
By utilizing the fabric sideways, you can minimize the remnant and enjoy a lovely mushroom design on both sides.
KF: Can you tell us any special elements or ideas that you incorporated into this creation?
The bag is simple without a gusset or a zipper, and you will find it very convenient!
With an easy flap for opening and closing, it is like using a paper bag.
To make the design look a little mature, a leather strap and gold rivets are added as an accent.
KF: What are some tips for making this bag?
Using a thick fabric like canvas for lining will help make a solid and stylish clutch bag easily.
For rivets, I recommend using a rivet driver. With this tool, you can attach the rivet without making much noise.
KF: How should we use this bag in everyday situations?
It goes so well with simple style clothing!
With the straight shape, books and documents fit nicely.
You may also find it handy to use as a bag-in-a-bag.
KF: Thank you very much, Yui. Here are sewing instructions along with step by step photos from her. Enjoy crafting!
