Hi Barbel
Trust you are doing fine.
I have working on the bag and I need you to check the following
1. Got this beautiful African print Fabric for the inside kindly check if I can use it for the inside of the bag. Find attached.
2. The bags dimensions. I propose it to be As follows
Lenght 9inch
Heigh 6inch
Depth 4inches
Hope this will be the right dimensions but incase you need me to adjust kindly let me know so we create a bag that you will love!.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Isabell

Hi Barbel
Please find attached project photos on the bag.
We have sketched and cut out the pattern , then glueing , skiving is done to help make the seam line thin and neatly finished.

Next will be stitching up and finishing the bag. 🙂
