Tammy's Reversible Shoulder Bag

Tammy asked me to sew her a bag and she knew exactly what she wanted. She brought me wine and cream drill fabric and this tutorial. We made some cutomisations to it too so that it would fit her perfectly. Also she asked to make it reversible and it was okay if it wasn't but I usually like a challenged so I agreed to try.

Then I screwed it up. First I squared off the wrong corners so I had to cut off the straps... then after completing it, I noticed a dirty smudge on the cream fabric so I thought I'd try to rinse that out. So that got the bag wet and realised OHNO! The colour from the dark wine-coloured fabric was coming off and staining the cream fabric!! !@#$%^&*!

Of course I felt terrible so I made her another one with my own stash and to the colour combination she had originally wanted but could not find. She was really happy when she saw the picture message I sent, so we'll see if she is still happy tomorrow when she gets it. Dad actually liked it very much too and Mum said she would like one in black and white - saying it would be perfect for traveling.
