Metallics are in the bags

Mo of Mo Bedell created this dazzling quilted tote as part of the Manchester Metallics Summer Bag Challenge. She’s one of 14 talented sewers tapped to create a new summer bag featuring Robert Kaufman’s fabric line, Manchester Metallic. It’s hard to see in the photograph, but that neutral background in Mo’s bag has shiny threads running through it.
