My everyday handbag got some fixing up over the weekend.
The inner liner developed a hole at a previous repair.
The previous repair was many years ago before I had opened the top edge of the bag. This time I sewed it on the inside the bag, making it less visible too.
While I had the edge of the bag open , I took the opportunity to clean up another repair attempt.
The green ribbon is of the style where the edge falls apart readily, oops, most of the Dollarama ribbons are super strong, but this one was from somewhere else. I know the double layer floss stitching is strong from how much work it took to rip out the old stitching on the ribbon.
The red ribbon is plenty strong, this should hold the structure of the bag quite well.
The bag also got cleaned out good, including some of the original foam liner that falls apart easily and does not help the structure of the bag. The bag may actually be slightly lighter than before.
