Being my mother's daughter I didn't get rid of it and put it in "my magic closet" ( I'm really starting to act like my mom ;0D) for when I thought I might use it in some project or other.
Yesterday, I had the day off due to Tropical Storm Fay(which was a wind blower and soaker but thank God not damaging) I was so excited to not have anything planned other than my fiber per suits. YIPPEEEE!!! I'd been shopping for a knitting bag, nothing too big or small with just the right pockets for my things. I've seen some really nice and $$$$ bags, but really I would rather spend the moola on more yarn especially weaving yarn since I need to get going on the Christmas list. I decided that I could experiment with this piece of sample fabric and see what I could come up with.
If I can toot my own horn, I was quite smitten and a bit smug when I finished, although it posed a challenge I think it was worth the effort. So tonight at knit group I'll have a new bag to show off. ;0)
What a great bag! I love the detail of buttons on the bottom.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it's my prototype and I'm using it to see what else I'd like in a bag before the final. So far I can't really add much but I'll see as I go along.
ReplyDeleteWonderful bag! Definitely worth the effort. You did good.
ReplyDeletegood work! love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and practical bag. i like the pockets on the inside. Oh yes, I like the fabric you wove too........(grin!)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I envy those who can make up their own patterns.

Vanessa, I just tried to email you but it didn't go through. You can check out www.u-handbag.com there are a ton of tutorials that you can download. I always plan to take pictures and measurements, then get into what I'm doing and I forget, this time I remembered when I finished. Let me know if you need any help.
ReplyDeleteVery nice! You can definitely toot your own horn on this one!
ReplyDeleteBag envy here! My kids always told me I have a "purse problem".
