It has been quite sometimes since I made a "Copy That" project. Today
I decided to “reboot” the segment on my blog.
I’ve already made a few posts on Facebook and Instagram.
Anyway, a dear friend of mines, drew my attention to a new product line
under the Coach umbrella called Coachtopia. Her cousin is actually the
head designer for Coachtopia. It is a fresh, youthful spend on classic
designs. One of my favorites is the Cloud tote. It is a quilted
tote bag that is big enough to carry a laptop in it.
Some time ago, I downloaded the "Made Everyday Reversible
Bag". I made several for gifts. I have yet to review it on my
blog. It is super easy to make.
So, I used the reversible bag to create my first Cloud tote inspired bag.
This first version is not perfect. The
straps are too wide and can easily slide off the shoulder.
My second version is already in the works.
I made it with lightly thinner straps and a longer body in hopes of copying the shape of the Cloud tote.
Stay tuned, More later.
I'm glad to see you posting again. You always inspire me to make some clothing.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm glad to share my sewing experiences.
DeleteYou've inspired me to make this, so I'm copying a copy! Did you use binding tape, or is that the lining coming over? What did you use for the lining? Do you think you'll need more than a yard if you lengthen the body of the bag? I'm ready to order fabric now to make this, you've got me so excited!
ReplyDeleteThank you. You will need about a yard of fashion fabric and lining fabric. Any lining fabric, your choice. I used lining fabric to make my own seam binding. I'll talk more about that in the next post. Thank you again.
DeleteYour ambition is inspiring! Nice tote bag!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteOoo, I'm excited to see your results. It's great that you decided to resume this fun segment of your sewing for us to enjoy. The cloud bag is very intriguing.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bonnie. It's good to sew more these days.
