So, I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty excited about this new bag design. I used quite a few different bags I had seen around to create this design and I have a few changes that I’d like to make in the future, but I’m happy with the way this one came out. And it’s a good thing too because I made this bag for a very important guest coming to my brother’s wedding NEXT WEEK!
I used a magnetic closure for this bag, and sadly, no giant button. I think it’s better without it. I love this design because it’s so understated from the outside. It goes with everything, but then there’s just a peak of teal that shows through when you’re carrying it. I put in one large zippered pocket and two patch pockets on the inside. In the future, I think I’d like to put pockets on the sides on the outside. I was planning on adding them to this bag, but after I had I always seem to underestimate the amount of time I spend on new projects. Speaking of which, if any of you photographers out there have suggestions for how to photograph new bags, I would LOVE to hear them. Using my white blanket, wooden floor, and white door isn’t really cutting it.
Just outside the window while I worked on this bag, I saw three little robins hatch out of their little eggs and start cheeping. Spring is the best.





I really like this new design and know it will be a hit, aunt peg
The perfect wedding welcome-to-Maine/we-love-your-daughter gift. Yay!
