buttercup III

whew! another buttercup done. this one is my favorite because it is BIG.



i challenged myself with a recessed zipper - not as hard as i expected, but kind of tricky to think through. i used this tutorial as a guide.



i also lined this with flannel and used heavy weight interfacing on the top panels. if i ever make another one of these i will use the flannel and interfacing throughout. i thought the interfacing might make the body of the bag too stiff, but i think it would be just the amount of support it needs.

a perfect summer bag for my Oregon vacation!
