Another heavy duty bag went into the shop this evening. I really like the way it turned out.
Made from pieces from the fabric stockpile.
The strap ends in a heavy metal ring on one side. Love it. Great for hanging keys.
Pink pocket on one side has a metal snap closure.
This to me is a great flea market bag or Saturday bag.
Now. Hats!! I have added 6 hats to my inventory this week. As of today, this is my favorite.
Its shape is just perfect. It has a steampunk flair that I love!
That is all for now, except that we are supposed to get some serious precipitation tonight and into early morning. I had planned to be off work tomorrow anyway to get a crown. Not on my head mind you, though that is a nice thought, but on a tooth! So I am ready to be snowed in.
Enjoy this day.

I LOVE the bag, now that was quite an inspiration. I am now going to look at my stash of fabric to see what I can find.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you are inspired! Making bags is one of my favorite things to do. Depending on the fabric and the mood, each bag turns out differently!

I've made lots of bags, although not lined ones like yours:) I'm sure I've had that same fabric that you lined yours with, and it would have either been made into a bag or an apron. Love the hat too!
ReplyDeleteKaren, thanks so much for stopping by! I love that when I am using remnants and no pattern, the bags just evolve into what they need to be. Cool about the lining fabric!

Hi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteLove the bag, especially the lining. I like big loose bags like this where I can stick just about anything in:} And now, that hat! Oh my, brings back memories of when I actually wore hats. Believe it or not, I was a teenager that wore hats and never wore jeans. I had a lovely wool cream colored one with a peach ribbon and a rose. Loved it. I have a photo somewhere of my daughter when she was 2 or 3 wearing it while sitting on my Dad's lap. I gotta dig that out and post it on my blog.
Anyway, you look great in hats, and I really like your outfit ~ what I can see of it! Oh, and that pretty blouse with the lace trim behind you...

p.s. hope your tooth is alright. I don't like going to the dentist, even though I have a great one. It's just the thought. Wondering if your appt. got canceled with all that snow.
