Vogue pattern 2971

Here are photos of the new Vogue Koos pattern. I love it! I purchased all of the fabrics on my Springtime in New York trip this year. The black/white stripe is a knit fabric. The panel down the front of the skirt is sewn on, stitched in rows and then cut apart. It is cut on the diagonal so it won't fray. Be sure to use your notches and check the pattern instructions for sewing the skirt together. It is not difficult, just unusual.

Handbags

Here is a photo of my co-op student Christie's handbag. She is just learning how to sew. Christie designed and drafted the pattern herself! The bag is made from shearling , which has been dyed to resemble an animal print and black lambskin leather.
