Important Note Regarding the Pieced Lollapalooza exterior
The Lollapalooza pattern comes with directions for a flat front exterior (Unpieced).
But many customers love the look of our pieced Lollapalooza exteriors,
many of which are pictured on this page.
This embellishment technique is available as a free download
by clicking on the following link from my blog. Free-Form Embellishing
I think you'll find that this little tutorial is a quick and easy way
to jazz up the exterior of your Lollapalooza Bag,
as well as many other bag patterns! ENJOY!

Here's a closeup of this amazing design
Embroidery Design provided by
Susa Glenn Designs
Embroidery is an excellent way to create stunning & unique purse exteriors, & the Boho is a perfect palette for your imagination. This Boho was fashioned in collaboration with Susa Glenn Designs, using her Hibiscus 2 Leather Design . You can also get a layout schematic for this bag by clicking here. Susa did a great job creating this design I think it looks SUPER! She also has two other designs that work beautifully for the Trifecta, and the Boho Baguette.
