<\/noscript>The pattern is free to download with great instructions and the bag was ready in no time. \u00a0I didn't have any interfacing, so I just left it without and the bag is rather soft and floppy. \u00a0I also didn't have a magnetic snap so I had to sew on a regular snap fastening. \u00a0The problems \u00a0of limited sewing supplies.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
I was really happy with the bag. \u00a0But I wanted more bling – I had these blue rhinestones I got from the fabric shop. \u00a0I had no idea what I was going to do with them at the time I bought them, but I really liked the color. \u00a0I thought they would look great on the bag. \u00a0But how do I stick them on? I know, I've got a glue gun.<\/p>\n
<\/noscript> <\/noscript>It's a mini glue gun, very tiny and takes the small little glue sticks. \u00a0I'd bought it ages ago and then never used it – my usual story. I even laid them out in a lovely scrolling pattern. \u00a0But actually getting them on the bag in this pattern was damned impossible. \u00a0I tried applying a tiny bit of glue to the back of the rhinestones, but the tip of the glue gun was too hot and I kept burning my fingers. \u00a0So I tried to apply a \u00a0little glue to the bag, but the blobs were too big, or I would get all these stringy glue bits everywhere, or it would be no longer tacky by the time I got the stone on it. \u00a0It was nothing short of a disaster. \u00a0So I gave up and I have one side plain and one side with an assortment of random messy blue stones and a lot of spare glue. Sigh.<\/p>\nBut – the bag is awesome. \u00a0It's just the right size and shape, uses a small amount of fabric and I love it. \u00a0I'm sorry I messed up with the glue gun. \u00a0I can see I'll be making more of these in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I’ve been making a new skirt. It’s in a lovely slinky-drapey navy fabric, but it’s not finished yet because it needs a zipper and I’ve been struggling to insert one without a proper zipper foot – so all zipper projects are still on hold. \u00a0But it’s all cut out and \u2026 Continue reading → <\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":188,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","wds_primary_category":0},"categories":[14,11,9,95,4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=176"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/176\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=176"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/so-sew-easy.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
