Almost done but for the trims. We went from sunset colours to almost psychedelic. Into season 7 of Mad Men, what an awesome show, specially for one with my background in advertising and layout. It is almost my birthday so it is that I am a Gemini, multi-tasking is so easy for me, so in the very early hours, when I have alone time, I read. I am in the first book of Game of Thrones. Cool story! This is a pic taken from the top of the bag. I still have stitching to do all around the edges and to design and make the fasteners & strap for the bag. Thus will the Ankh come visible to you who are watching ... but only in the next and final tale!
The front of the Handbag with the scarabs wings, with a pouch for storing treasures.
I have made two pouches on the side gussets, one tall and one short for more storage of goodies and inside the bag is an extra pocket, where your tablet would be safe from the contents of the main part of the bag. Alas I am unable to show you as the bag is busy being shaped and stretched to size and is overflowing with books!
This is the back of the handbag, as yet the edges are unfinished, but the primping of this carryall is in progress, and though you can't see it yet, it is happening.
I do hope there is a someone who cannot live without this bag. I had a fab time making it and finally some of my learning is paying off, with a pattern that is not in need of tweaks. It is so great when a plan come together!
I will post some links to my previous work below.
Peace & Love & Blessed be.
