Manchester Metallics Summer Bag Challenge.
Friends, I am SO EXCITED to be able to share this project with you!
Over the past few weeks I've had the opportunity to participate in the Manchester Metallics Summer Bag Challenge through Sew Mama Sew.
The assignment was to create a summer bag featuring Robert Kaufman's new line of Manchester Metallic fabrics.
A few months ago my brother-in-law and sister-in-law asked me to come up with a pattern for a wine tote to carry bottles of wine at wine tastings. I altered my pattern slightly, et voila! I had a tote that was a little more summery- perfect for this challenge.
Except....let's be honest. It's more likely that my tote will used for park dates than for winery tours.
...which is why I added this interior pocket for a cell phone & keys. Love the sparkly lining!
I'm also very much in love with the bow. This definitely was not a feature on my brother-in-law's prototype. ;)
It was so fun to participate in this challenge! Robert Kaufman sent me the fabric, but the sentiments are my own! What do you think of the bag? Do you have questions regarding the construction? I'd love to hear from you in the comments!

Oh my goodness. When the fabrics came in the mail I wanted to hug them...they were that pretty. The metallic fabrics in the picture are Midnight, Evening, and Eggshell. The lining fabric on the bottom is Kona Steel.
