Oh Hai! I'm back. I lost my sewjo for a spell there but thankfully it was only temporary. Here is a finish from about two weeks ago. Another Zakka Style messenger bag. This one is for my aunt Kathy. She is a kookie geologist who lives on a farm and owns goats and alpacas. I aspire to grow up just like her!!
Ostrich fabric appliqued on the front is perfectly fitting. My mom commissioned this bag and she said she and Kathy are the two old birds.
The body of the bag is yarn dyed linen in denim. The inside is lined with birds and the bees fabric. The pockets are a dinosaur text print (Geology rocks!!) The inside flap is a honeybee print that I wish I bought more of.
The strap is a home dec fabric that has an underwater scene on it. I like that the turtles and fish peep out from the sea fronds.
It is a good thing I love making these bags. My mom commissioned another 5 from me.
I hope I didn't lose too many readers in that dry spell.
Great bag! I look forward to seeing the other variations!
ReplyDeleteWait, your mom commissioned another 5?? You kind of snuck that in there.
ReplyDeleteDude, I'm with Katie. Way to sneak in that important detail! The bag looks fantastic!! I can see why your mom wants 5 more. :D
ReplyDeleteMissed you!
ReplyDeleteFabulous bag, keep up the awesome work.
