'Donna' Bag

This Donna bag is by Swoon.

 Donna and I had issues and I had a lot of trouble putting her together.  Not because the instructions were unclear but because it was my first go at piping.  Over on the Swoon blog there is a great tutorial which is what I used to help (click here to Sew Along:Donna)




 As you can see for a first timer on piping it is a little scary. One lesson I learnt when it comes to piping is slow and steady is the way to go.  Not fast and furious. 

Eventually it came together.  I have been sewing since 9am and it is nearly 2:30pm.  



 
Outside is finished.  It is so cute.  I still have to do the insides and am going to look into some sort of plastic so I can have my very own toiletry bag. 
 
 
Donna is so cute.  Glad we have decided to get along.  lol
