Another Purse

For those of you near enough to an Ikea, you will know they carry anything and everything for the well equipped house, and that includes fabric.  I bought some great fabric there yesterday and decided I wanted to make another purse like my pink skull purse.  I had really messed up the straps on the skull purse and the pocket is already falling off (due to lack of back stitching).

This time around I figured I'd do it right!  I bought some thicker interfacing to give it a bit more substance.  I used the same pink fabric that I had purchased for $1 a yard with the new fabric from Ikea.  I cut attached the interfacing to the pink pieces and started sewing.  All went well until I put the pink inside the Ikea fabric.  I don't know what I was thinking but I sewed the front to the back all the way around!  It took almost 20 min to rip it apart but then went together with little issue after that.  The straps turned out MUCH better this time and I put on 2 pockets in two different styles, making sure to back stitch well.  All in all it turned out pretty good I think!
