I can't believe I get to do a third post with Monaluna Organic Fabrics! The new Journey collection is just so lovely to work with ... come see!
I love that every time I get my hands on some Monaluna Organic fabrics I'm inspired to go out of my comfort zone to make something that I don't normally make. I've admired Swoon Patterns (affiliate link) for years, purchased several of their patterns, made a Betty Bowler once but then never got around to making another...until now! I thought the Donna Vintage bag would be the perfect canvas to show case the Skull & Roses print.
With a little fussy cutting I managed to center the bigger skulls and highlight them. I made my own piping with the Birdseed in blue print.
Finally for the inside I used Arrows for the lining. Its a beautiful coral, its acutally a pitty that its hiding inside!
With all the fabulous prints in the Journey collection it was really hard to choose!

ReplyDeleteAdorable,
ReplyDeleteboth the bag and the prints! I too sometimes have an issue with using adorable prints as lining - but then the pop of color when you open a bag, wow!
