Duffel bag - Finished!

Holy crap, I did not expect to get almost all the way through that bag today. It wasn't exactly a hard project, but with strap and lots of pockets, it added up to a lot of little steps. (And a few lightly scalded spots on my fingertips, because I have trouble with irons occasionally ( Read more... )

Yay! I'm impressed! It looks great.

Thanks! You'll have to check it out next time you're over here.

Definitely!

BTW, I ordered a bunch of jump rings, which should be here in the next week. Is exciting.

Oooh, cool. I definitely want to look through your book and get some rings at Michael's myself. If I want to do more of it, I'll have to order some of my own!

That is so cool.

Was it pretty tough? Take a long time? Cause if I find some funky fabric, I'd be happy to pay ya to make me one. But not if it's a pain in the butt. LOL

Thanks!

Well, I did all of it in a day, which amounted to probably 6 hours or so in the sewing room, plus the cardboard cover and strap I haven't done yet, which would probably add another hour or so. The only part that was hard was putting the sides on, because shaping the front and back from straight to round is a royal pain in the ass, but it's the sort of thing that I'll probably get better at with practice. So if you don't mind a few minor irregularities, I'd be happy to do one for you! Email me and we'll work out the details.
