I need your help...

I'm working on my pattern review for Sara's Purse Palooza, and decided to go ahead & make another Mabel Bag for myself.  I've been thinking about making one for a while now (since last summer, actually), so now seems like a perfect time to do it!

I've got my fabrics picked out, but can't decide which to use for the outside & which to use for the lining.

I'm leaning towards the darker one for the outside & the dots for the lining with a patchwork strap using both.  What do you think?

Until next time...

  1. I like the dots on the outside - - but I love dots!

  2. I think I like it the way you were thinking...Maybe a little dot on the out side to bring it together with the straps.

  3. I agree with you. Dark on the outside and spotty inside :)

  4. I love the dots, so I'd make that the outside... We're probably making your choice harder!

  5. I like the outside in the dark and the dots on the inside. However, I would be tempted to do the straps and little closure flap in dots. Or you could improv a front pocket on the outside and use the dots on top of the dark. I would also do the inside pocket in the outside fabric. Just me. When I make bags I have a tendency to mix inside and out a lot.

  6. I'd go with the darker one on the outside, too. I love that print for some reason! And the patchwork strap sounds great, too. Have fun!

  7. I like the dots on the outside - they make a bigger statement. The dark print on the inside....it will be fun to see what you decide!

  8. I vote for the dots on the outside, but that's a conundrum because lighter fabric is usually better for the insides...

  12. I'm voting for the darker on the outside and dots on the inside. And awarding super extra bonus points for using orange. Awesome!
