PPC34: Cactus Flower
So... as you might surmise, we're coming close to wrapping up this round of Purse Pattern Chronicles. As we "speak", I'm pretty much beyond the sample-making process & moving on to marketing plans, product videos, final photos, & website development.
I do have a couple of samples yet to show you though, so here we go....
This Bag Front (at left above) features a newly-styled zippered pocket and the BagBack (at right above) has drop-in pocket with a mag-snapped closure.
and here's a pretty good look at how different this design looks with the expanded area clsoed (at left) and the expanded area completely open (at right). Just think what an advantage it is to be on a day-long shopping trip, or a cruise excursion, and being able to access additional storage like this INSTANTLY!
And here's a couple more looks at the unique expanded area that this new design provides! and you know what? It's totally FUN to carry as well!
And finally, the interior features a zippered pocket as well as a lining that can transform to an expanded exterior!
And now a few words about this FUN fabric which was a JOY to work with! It's called "Magical Desert" & was designed by Mayo Moreno.
If you'd like to add it to your stash for a future project, we're carrying it in our Fabric Shop. Just click HERE for a closer look!
