Progress

I started my purse experiment last night. I like how it's coming along. Although, the sweater fabric is really thick and hard to get under the sewing maching foot. I've only done about 5 seams, the strap is still pined to the body, I can't sew it on until I make the lining, but here it is so far.



The strap (formerly the sleeve) has this weird crease in it that is still there after washing and drying a bazillion times. I wonder if I should try to iron it out, or wet it and try to dry it in the shape I want?

And now I've decided that I don't like the mu-mu for the lining. (Which means I'll need to do another project with it later. Travis suggested a beach tote, which I thought was a great idea.) So, I raided my fabric stash for potential liners. Let me know which you think will go best from the below selections. It won't show at all unless you are looking inside the bag, but I want it to be something I love, you know?
