Success

Much to my surprise I was able to remove ALL the stitches and salvage the fabric in order to complete this bag. For me, the best part of it is I was able to use some fabric I had saved from some clothing I made for her years ago as the lining. Have I mentioned before I might be a hoarder?

Good job!

Well done it looks lovely

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It looks great!! That was a labor of love on many levels.

[Kathy]

Well done Katy. The bag is beautiful. If your daughter doesn't like it I'll take it (with the monogram).

[Marilyn Wigen]

She is going to LOVE this… especially with that lining. I knew who it was for by looking at the stitching “shadow” on the previous photo. 😊

[Mary Siegle]

Oh, wow! The monogram is fabulous. 2nd time’s the charm, then. I admire your patience and persistence.

[Kathy A]

This is really lovely, you did a great job

[Diana]

This is so very beautiful Katy, congratulations! Your daughter will certainly be over the moon when she sees this.
