When I get the tutorial all done these photos will be added... Susie also added and I quote her:
"The other thing you should add to the tutorial is "Gerry's Rule for Victorian Carpet Bag Design" -- When you think you're done .... add more. It really did work for me. Especially after I decided that fancy stitched seams were difficult and time wasters - just adding laces on BOTH sides of the seams made the fancy stitched seams unnecessary....... adding another color trim or ribbon on top of that, improved the look. I kept her 'rule' in my mind and I think it made my bag better."

Looks beautiful. When you use laces like this, do you sew the uneven edge of the lace down too? - perhaps with monopoly thread so it doesn't catch on things? Jane
I love Susie's bag. And Jane's question is a very good one.
I have to make one of these bags and I have just noticed....YOU HAVE KITS!!! I am off to order one of those kits. How easy is that! You have done all the hard work of getting the fabrics and trims together.
