Bags

Hello! Once again I've sewed a lot this week but not for me :( Actually it's a good thing because I'm making my first two orders ever: a bridesmaid dress for Sophie and a cocktail dress for my friend Laurence, so far the dresses have been going quite well so I keep my fingers crossed!
I still managed to finish a handbag I had started eons ago and I also sewed a super quick, fun striped tote bag (2 hours max to draft, trace and sew, complete with lining!).

I didn't take a picture of the inside of this one because it's lined with plain white fabric.

Finally I wanted to show you The Dress That Won't Be:

It's my second attempt at a Hollywood pattern which I mentioned a few weeks ago. The first version -in polyester- was a catastrophy so I made careful alterations, chose a lighter fabric and eventully understood that the design is just not flattering on me. Plus when I sewed a side of the skirt the fabric got too stretched and now this part is wrinkled and points towards the front :( I'll put the patten in my Etsy shop if you're interested.
