*insert maniacal 'success' laughter here*
Finally finished something! I'm over half done on about 20 projects (exaggerating). I spent nearly all day working on the waitress swap I'm doing, and when I realised I didn't have something I needed, I figured I'd finish my bag. Takes longer than you think, lol. It may not be much, and I may have been nearly done already (everything was already appliqued on), but it is nice to have something to show for my only day off work (and they tried to call me in! Can you believe it?)
Anyway, here we go, my first ever machine applique. I got approval from my sister on the polar bear, but no one liked the melting earth. It is a statement! (Less disturbing than a seagull with a plastic ring around it's neck, or some of the other ideas I had) Actually, I think I subconsciously like to try and make people feel uncomfortable, I put this in the same category as drawing a cute cow on the 'special' board at work when there is beef on the menu. Forgive me for thinking that people should at least think about what they do. People think I am strange.
So, without further ado, the bag that I probably won't get many comments on, just weird looks.
How it started? This sketch and this bag idea from someone else (give credit where credit is due). Bag structural design still mine. They are massive, I love them :) I have plans for many more. I take requests ;)
And, the finished product
That last shot is just for perspective, the bag is huge. The trick is the shoulder straps though, makes it never seem heavy :) Can't wait to use it!
