There has been a good part of this week-I got some crafting done. It seems projects go best when I have the least amount of time to work on them. My theory is that I think about making stuff all day, especially when I can't, so by the time I sit down I have it all mapped out. A bag like this has disaster written all over it because simple shapes I think are the hardest and show the most goofs. Also, I am so fussy about proportions, the handle length, the width of the bag, etc, that this kind of thing could get scrapped, but it came together just fine.
It's about 14" wide at the top. The brown is a dreamy heavy weight linen that I have had for about 6 years is available to the trade only. It's meant for upholstery and I have been hoarding it like crazy. The folksy fabric is from Cia's Palette, again, and I love it so much it hurts. I lined it in a red print and even added pockets for the cell and my wallet. I also added a interfacing of cotton flannel so it will keep its shape, not anything fusible, cause that stuff makes me bonkers.
Okay-we are getting better around here, slowly. But the 2 year old is still a force to be reckoned with. She's not the sleeping all day type of sick, more like the book chucking type of sick. yeah.
