A crafty good time = bag.

So, I finally picked the bag design for my first

class and I decided on this super sassy

square messenger. I feel like it will be a good, versatile buddy...

who can be a craft bag or a farmer's market bag.

I miniaturized the bag a little for my own selfish

needs(just for the sample) and felted some rainbow sea urchins

on the front pocket. Mine also has a couple of Granny's

vintage mother of pearl buttons.

Of course I could not waste the precious fabric for the

class so I hand dyed heavy canvas vintage blue

with my favorite RIT dye in teal.

The real bag will be taller, slouchier, and in this super cute

orchid leaf print from Joel Dewberry.

Incidentally, JD also produced the printed

fabric of the chair below.

A little polka dotted bias to finish the bag nice and

clean, a super chic screen print that is at the

screen printer, and we are good to go.

(all fabric/bias available at Hart's Fabric)

The class on Saturday should be a good time!

Once we get some good photos from the class I will

post them with the bag tutorial, sea urchins and all.

Happy Monday!

on a side note.. I am really feeling the quad cam app

for my iphone. A must have.
