messenger bag with adjustable strap

New ! Messenger bag with adjustable strap. This happens to be a quick one I made for my cousin who wants it as a teacher's swap gifts. It's very spacious and very roomy. Makes a great diaper bag too. I think it can also be good to carry your laptop or other gadgets in it! Super cool :)

Closes with a magnetic snap, 4 slip pockets and quite sturdy to stand on its own :)

The measurements are 12" length x 10" tall  x  4"deep.

The strap longest length is 48"

sling bags for boys

i never thought that it would be difficult to come up with a fabric that is suitable for boys! as from all my previous bags sewing, ive never (i think) ever sewn anything for the other gender :)

so here's what ive came up with after a throughly never ending fabric hunting throughout the month of January, 2011

the measurements are :-

9" tall, 7" wide and 2" from front to back.

26" long for strap.

closes with a snap button.

there're more on my next upcoming post ! stay tuned :)

buttercup bags (altered version)

another version of the altered buttercup bags. 2 straps with one long adjustable strap.

i find sewing the zipper the most biggest challenge! especially at the sides connecting the joining of the long strap to the bag. as it gets bulky, it increases the chances of breaking the needle so i would recommend sewing it slowly and use needle no. 16 to make it go nice and smooth.

its actually nice and bright purple but my camera just couldnt get that 'nice' purple color when i snap the pictures.

these bags come with 2 type of straps, one long adjustable detachable strap and a pair of short strap. there are 2 pockets and 1 zippered pocket inside. its absolutely a fun bag to make and with a zipper closure it does keeps all your stuff secured!

thanks for viewing and happy holidays :)

buttercup bag in purple

here's the buttercup bag in purple. ive always been a fan of anything thats purple. purple is simply my favorite color :) i made this bag for a friend of mine and she loves purple too. ive recycled the metal D-ring from her preloved bag and i think it does look great on it. the bag has 2 functions which is why i also made a detachable adjustable strap as a sling bag.

thats how it looks like as a sling bag.

the interior view which has 2 pocket slots and one zippered pocket.

lily sling bag

 its the lily sling bag. measurements are 8" tall, 5" top from seam to seam, 1.5" deep from front to back. there's one inner pocket for easy search items such as keys or wallet. this time around it comes with adjustable straps so that it will fit with perfect length. its a nice bag for short trips and yet its roomy enough for all your essential needs.
