May 2009

This is made of the softest brushed denim.  The ribbons are securely sewn on both sides and the ends are sewn right into the side seams of the flap. Those are never coming off. ribbon messenger bag

The flap stays in place with velcro and while I generally don’t like velcro, it really works on a messenger bag because you do not want your stuff flying out of there. I don’t know about you, but I’m rougher with a messenger bag than I would be with a purse or handbag.

There are two big pockets on the outside under the flap and several on the inside of the bag, too. I forgot to measure the strap length before I took it to the shop to sell, but it seems to be the perfect length for me. The strap is extra wide so it’s super comfortable, even if you have a bunch of heavy stuff in there.

Bigger Bonnet for a Big Girl

May 22, 2009

I made this bonnet quite awhile ago for Deja, but my pattern turned out too big. It’s still a little too big for her, but she insisted on wearing it today. It has two snaps in the back so you can lay it flat to iron it, if needed.
Here she is looking so ladylike in [...]
