In my creative space today I've been choosing fabrics to combine to make some kids messenger bags using the pattern I drafted a while ago.
I'm hoping to have a bag making evening tonight and get one or two made, providing the little people sleep, that is!
Included will be one for my boy (who keeps pinching his sisters') and one for his little buddy, providing it works how I envisage it. I enjoy putting fabrics together and get a kick out of a combination that works well... but then sometimes I get it on the machine and it just doesn't look right - know what I mean?
I'm also hoping to start on a new bag of my own using this blue and red, one of my favourite colour combos at the moment.
Fingers crossed for a fun evening of bag making (yeh, I don't get out much ;-)

ReplyDeleteKathy - I don't have a pattern available at the moment but I'm hoping to put some bags in my long neglected Etsy shop soon. I've also been thinking about offering the bag as a pattern one day, just baulking at all the work involved in getting it done!
