The Bag is done.

Yes, these are finished product pics. I love the bag... it is kinda a sloppy jean bag. But I like it.. and I think it's kinda my style... might look funny with my new winter coat and new car.. but I really couldn't care.. I like it. The one thing I would have done different, the zipper. I would have put it up at the top instead of having that lip on the sides.. the lip looks kinda sloppy because its not stiff enough to stand up and just kinda rolls around.. but I like it. Hopefully I will like how it performs too... meaning once I uses it some I hope I like it. Here you can see a wee bit of the zipper flap, as the bag hangs on a chair.

Here you can see the whole zipper flap. I like how the stitching on either side of the zip goes with the pocket I put on the end(see previous bag post) and it holds the fabric away both the liner and the outside so they do not get caught in the zip(which makes me nuts).
Bright blue liner, with the Provincial flowers, Made for a good liner.. nice and bright shouldn't lose stuff in there.. though I bet I will anyways!
Eh, Well, that's the sloppy jean bag... ttfn

Sorry, I disappeared...

Hey, yes, I did. I went off to work, then came home told you all I was home then disappeared... I got tangled up in a game... Puzzle Quest to be exact... I was playing Super Colapse but finished it so started into Puzzle Quest... quite the game. Anyway. Last night my mom calls to make sure Hubby and I are still kicking cuz she hasn't seen me or heard from me in like... since my last post! LOL Shame on me, but anyways. Yesterday I spent sewing. I have been itching for a new purse. I saw a nice leather one in Penningtons in Regina.. but couldn't bring myself(being cheap) to pay $35. for it, because it would work but wasn't making me jump up and down. I was going to make one but looking through my fabric stash I had no denim. I had 2 colours of corderoy, navy and light blue but neither I liked for a bag. Then I remembered I had this box of Jeans I got from Dandy. So, I dug though the fabric first......... nothing made me jump. Then I dug into the old jeans... I thought there had to be something in there that would work. And there they were, these supper soft, blue/black, Manager Jeans. So, I chopped them up... this is what I came up with....

Above, slung over the chair, below the front.

Above is the back of the bag, Below is the pocket I put on the end. I hope the pocket will hold my cell phone.
I have yet to line the bag. I tried a lining yesterday but it did not turn out so, I think I am going to go basic... very very basic.. and make little pouches for the stuff I dont want others to see.. like pads, advil and all the other crap that runs around the bottom of a purse. I also need to decide how to close it... I don't have a zipper and I think a button will look stupid... so we shall see what happens... I don't know that it will have a falling open problem anyways with the fact that it has a single strap instead of 2... I dunno.. we will see I guess... Let me know whatcha think. K?

Anyways I should run. I finished my 7 in the post below though they aren't very exciting... enjoy! LOL Catchya later!
