It did take me more time than I thought because I am so fussy with all the little details.
If you remember a couple of posts ago I mentioned when I went to Victoria Park and Kingston Road with my large plastic "Ikea" blue bag so that I could what ever fit into the bag. The funny thing is
I thought I would grab about 15 at least and I could only fit 8 of them into the bag because they were so large.:)
I wanted to video the trip when I went for the pick up but I'm still trying to figure out how to use the video selection on my camera. :)
I found this kind gentleman on "Craigslist" who is nice enough to donate them to who ever wants to come by and pick up, so I didn't mind the fact that I could only take 8 of them because I did want to leave some in case more people were interested in picking some up.
I just want to add one more to show the nice detail on the flap because I outlined and sewed in the middle of the design that was on the front of the flap giving a pretty quilted look except there was no quilt layer in between. I was hoping the thread would show way better than it took to do the work, but when you open the flap , I then feel really happy that I put the extra effort into the detail, plus it strengthened the bag.
The vibrant 100% cotton I used for the lining and strap was left over from a set of pillows I made which are listed in my SHop in case you want to take a peek.
There is two decent sized pockets inside with a separate cell phone pocket too, plus I added a key fob so you don't have to dig around for your keys.
This bag will be available in my shop, but I wanted to show you it first here to see if you like it.
I would consider it a large bag and great for shopping or even to carry books and notions for school.
Definitely a special bag that is very well made .
Can you tell how happy I am? :)
More detail and measurements will be available in my shop by tomorrow before I leave for an appointment.
Please Please Please let me know if there is anything you see that I should fix before I list it.
I want to make a couple more in different sizes and styles, but I am a bit excited in wanting to move on for a couple of days and create more jewellery for my shop and most of all make an "Anthropologie" knockoff (which seems to be a big thing going on right now) which I have almost completed a bracelet but also want to make a necklace too. I got hooked with the knockoffs through one of my favourite blogs "Flamingo Toes"...do take a look at the blog and I'm sure you will sign up too....right Here.
After reading this post if you actually get through it all, you might get a glimpse of how explosive I am when it comes to creating and designing because I just don't have enough time to do everything....so I Must slow down.....slow down....and go back and just finish off the bracelet that is waiting to debut here and then get posted in my shop.
Have a Great Thursday everyone.
Talk soon, and most importantly,
Don't Wait To Create :)
