It's been a while since I made
my Annette, but I still get compliments (The Target cashiers identify me by it LOL!) and couldn't wait to make another one!

I love this Stitch Tiki fabric from the
Hapa custom fabric group! It's super bright, fun and colorful! I thought the purple vinyl might end up being too boring to go with it, but it's actually a perfect compliment and great accent! It's a little softer than the glitter vinyl (texture and finish), and grabs my sewing machine a little less. I still had to use the Teflon foot, but my Janome HD3000 had no trouble going through the layers! I could have sewn the handles, but I really liked how they looked with the rivet holding them. Of course, after I sent it off I had a sudden moment of paranoia that the rivet will pop off at some point, but I'm crossing my fingers that doesn't happen!

The
Annette from Swoon (affiliate link) comes in 2 sizes, someday I might try the huge one, but the small one is perfect handbag sized!
 |
| Stitch is peeking up from the pocket, with a connector attached to his hat...not my best placement! |
With all the bright and bold outside, a single color lining was actually a good choice and will make it easier to find things inside. I had to add in a splash of color tho, so the slip pocket ended up with more Tiki Stitch. ;)

| Slip pocket, did it in gusset style |

| Zipper pocket. I had the perfect color in my stash! |
I love these rainbow zipper ends from
Emmaline bags, they are the perfect finish to my rainbow zippers! I'm going to be so sad when I run out of the pretty zipper pulls, but I have a stash of the zipper tape!
I have one more Annette on my order list in a Star Wars fabric, but if I were smart, I'd cut an extra set of interfacing so I can make a spare to list on etsy...I even have an idea which fabrics I'd love to use!
