Formal Pouches Fancy Pocket or the Liefeld Look: A short history in links

I love pockets. I am pretty sure that's evident, but these are a little more tactical than evening wear usually requires.

Who else needs pouches?

DEADPOOL.

This is a story about owning how ridiculous you are. 

Rob Liefeld put lots and lots of pouches on his characters.

I am sewing. Mending. Choir clothes came in, halfway done. Will have some photos and some thoughts. Much love to our froggy friends in Portland.

(not so) Magic Bag Of Tricks part two

 I have been poking at this this project for over two years

Felix the Cat's Magic Bag of Tricks

Here's the Loungefly version of it

It ground to a halt when I glued the interior seams over and the glue did not dry.

Not even the glue that was exposed to the air.

Two years later, it's still gooey.

but a gal needs to finish what she started...

Here's the pattern

It's a frame purse, and yes, I did buy the appropriately sized frame.

But maybe not designed for pleather. 

Last week I posted the basic construction.

Now I'm trying to finish it.

I made a template to mark the holes for the bag feet

Also used one of the templates as an interior support for the feet

Secured the prongs with gaffers tape.

I remembered I wanted to add an interior pocket to the lining (this is the lining turned right side out). I didn't add a closure at the top. I may regret that. I did not use that Fabric Fusion glue. 

The lining is clipped to the exterior after I finished the interior pocket, and I handbasted it together

 Looks good! Maybe I should stop here.

However, no one prepared me for what a pain in the keister attaching the frame to the bag.

Holy mother of pearl.

(I used all the swears up. I am still using them up. I have none to spare for this post)

The glueing part gets its own post. Which may not be SFW.

And a side note: Bernadette gets Deadpool better than she knows

Deadpool sewing commentary, but no pouches on this reel.
