Phoebe Bag

I am so excited... I made a "Phoebe Bag by Rebeka Lambert" and it turned out GREAT!!!

The directions are wonderful, and they are free! I bought this fabric to use on a different bag pattern, but when I saw this bag, I liked it a lot better than my original choice. The only thing I would change is the kind of clasp I used. I sewed in a magnet in the front of the bag and the flap, but it isn't strong enough, so to reinforce this, I will probably add a small snap on that flap, too.


I love it when a plan comes together! I sewed this whole bag with invisible thread, and while it is a pain to fill a bobbin with this thread, I sure love how it covers your sewing sins - especially on the top stitching portion.


LOVING this bag... I think I will now make one in every colour :)

It looks fantastic! Now I really have to finish mine. LOL

I wonder why the magnetic snap wasn't strong enough. That is weird.
