Friday already! Time flies when you're having fun. And especially when you have at least seven different projects going on at once. Making a new bag pattern is one of these projects. And that means making different prototypes and deciding on which elements go into this particular pattern.
Sometimes it is difficult to settle on something specific because I'm already off and running to the next idea. But this time, I stuck with two ideas--magnetic snaps and purchased handles. And a sneaky interior pocket.
These fabrics are a mix of old and new Sis Boom. The stripes and loopy floral are from the Flower Power collection, still available in some online shops. The dots are brand new Queen Street. The way these go together is playful and fun. There is a hint of nostalgia in the brown floral but the dots and stripes carry it forward with energy and enthusiasm.
At approximately 18 inches wide, 10 inches tall and 3 inches deep, it is versatile and easy to carry. What would you use it for if it were yours?
Love the size of this:) I would use it as an everyday bag; I am always needing an extra bag for the tons of stuff that will not fit into my purse. I would also use it as a shopping bag... I never seem to have enough of those, either:)
ReplyDeleteThose fabrics are great together!!!
I love this! Great design, fabulous fabrics. I would use it for one of my writing/school projects. It would be perfect!
ReplyDeleteI would use it to carry back and forth my fabric and projects to my parents house. Hehehe! Sisboom fabric no doubt! And some knits.
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with this bag!!!!
ReplyDeletei would use it for everyday, you know, going to baby gym with little ellie, going to work with lots of fabric samples, going to the store, everything because it is so roomy!!
ReplyDeleteThe snap makes it so I can put it in the car and everything won't fall out if I take a corner a bit to much like I own a sports car- or in reality if a deer jumps out in front of me and I have to slam on the breaks. I agree with the first comment by Melissa that it would make a decent shopping bag too: and Amanda whom I imagine to be putting in a leather bound journal into her bag before setting out to find the perfect spot to settle into an afternoon of writing. I think that on a hot humid day I would love to feel the coolness of those handles as I stroll through the farmer's market. Carolina
ReplyDeleteI am your newest follower and really enjoying catching up on all your great posts! The bag is beautiful and would make a great diaper bag or fabric bag as another posted suggested:)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this bag! It would definitely be my "projects" bag...knitting, embroidery, ect for when I'm sitting at the pool during swim practice. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteJust lovely ;) Found your blog via Sis Boom and this bag is the perfect size for traveling on a plane or in the car. I'm always bringing a bunch of book/journals/magazines when we travel and need a big bag for them and my laptop. Very nice!
