I heart big bags...

I love sewing...I love taking yards of material and making it into something useful like a baby sling or dish towels or a new bag. Bags for me are always big...I love big bags because I can fit my bible, and my journal, my latest book, a magazine, a small vehicle...anything I want. I had been checking out this Etsy Site and was inspired by the market bag...I love the size, the shape and the simplicity...but I didn't really have the money to buy it. What I did have was a large piece of paper and a ton of heavy gray fabric. I started drawing my pattern and started sewing right away...the bag only took me about 2.5 hours to make and it would have gone much faster had I not sewing the lining the wrong way (messy seams are not supposed to show.). I love this bag and I can't wait to make more. I am going to try to find some vintage material so I can make another one...maybe even make one as a christmas gift...we'll see.
