The "I’m Sure" Bag

April 29, 2010

Well, this turned out better than I expected.  There are quite a few errors, but since this bag is for me, I’m not too concerned.

As stated in my earlier post, I messed up on the seam allowance.  Since I had just sewn the lining, I didn’t bother to rip it apart.  Its the inside and I figured that noone would know but me!  And the magnetic closure is slightly off center.  Whoops.

But its cute, and I like it.

Lessons learned:

  • read directions.  again.
  • topstitching.
  • inserting a magnetic closure.
  • machine applique.
  • piping.

::The Name::

Five Baht Elephant. My mother is from Thailand, where elephants are royal animals. Growing up Mom would tell us to save our pennies, "in case a man came to our door selling elephants." At the time we thought it was the most absurd thing ever. Now I realize it was the Thai version of saving for a rainy day. Lets hope that we can buy an elephant for only five baht!
