And Only One Broken Needle!

I am quite pleased with myself today. So pleased, in fact, I actually skipped around my living room singing the smurfs' theme song, but with my own lyrics: "I made a mes-sen-ger ba-a-a-a-aaaag. I am the quee-ee-een of mes-sen-ger-er bags!"



Taa-dah!



Under the flap is my favorite 3-angled pockets design. The main pocket has a big-metal-toothed recessed zipper, which was quite the nightmare to put in. Several stab wounds and one broken sewing machine needle later, it was done. I can honestly say that I put my blood, sweat, and tears into this project, but fortunately not the bag itself. I had the band aid box and the facial tissues on stand-by. I am if nothing else, prepared.

I am in love with the lining fabric- I used it everywhere I could. Even inside the back of the bag's peek-a-boo zipper compartment.

  1. It really does look amazing! I like the design, the lining and the leather (it is leather isn't it)! The various compartments make it truly desirable.Extremely professionally made!

  3. Hey this is a fabulous bag! I particularly love the hidden back zipper. I'm in the process of making a bag myself for a special person for x-mas, we'll see how it'll turn out. Thanks for visitng my blog and I hope I wasn't too harsh on the pattern drafting! It is fun!
