Well here is my first completed sewing project in over 13 years! And let me tell you....this little bag took all afternoon. I finished it just about 30 minutes ago. Whew!So my sis, Mary Beth, was right when she said in her comment to my last post about making a boxy bag. That's what this is, however, it turned out a bit smaller than I thought. I even forgot to put in the handle. I had done so much ripping out on this little thing, there was no way I was going to rip out some more just to put in the handle. I'm just gonna save it for the next one I make.
Since this bag can't really hold any knitting projects, maybe knitting notions, I found another use for it. It's my new makeup bag! Everything fits in it perfectly. Including my full size MAC brushes.While this finished bag is far (way far) from perfect, I am happy and proud how it turned out. Why did I really think putting in a zipper was a good first sewing project after all these years?!?! I'm still pondering that one. Regardless, the bag is solid. It may flare out at the bottom and the box shape heights may not be exact, but I like it because I made it.
It is gorgeous! Excellent work.
ReplyDeleteI love it. And if you want to practice on a second one, i can definately provide a home for it. :-)
ReplyDeleteyou are making this so difficult to resist. Can't you say bad things about sewing so that I'll not play follow the leader with your latest projects?
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that bag?
ReplyDeleteMake me one. :D
Ahhh. I was just making a stab in the dark & I actually guessed right. Scary. I t turned out fabulous. Way to go. Hey, at least you got a zipper out of the way right off the bat. No worries for next time.
ReplyDeleteThe make-up bag is very cute. Love the fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove it! The bag turned out great!The handle seems unnecessary. Why bother? Very impressed with your zipper skills. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteToo cute! Yay, for the makeup kit and for not getting stressed about the way things turn out. You did a great job and good choice of fabric.
ReplyDeleteIt looks awesome! And since it's too small for your knitting, well, that means you'll just have to make another, bigger bag! And if that second attempt ends up not quite to your liking, I'd be happy to give it a good home. :)
ReplyDeleteYay I found your blog! Yay I found your box bag turned cosmetic bag! Yay we so think alike!! LOL
