Guess what is coming up? The
Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta! In just over a week and it begins. So I made this
Good to Go Messenger Bag from Andrie Designs in the small size. It's a free pattern.
The flap is perfect for all kinds of fun fabric or other artsy stuff.
 |
| I used some blue "uncorked" fabric to compliment the hot air balloon fabric. Tell me does it look like real cork? It's 100% cotton fabric. A lot less $ than real cork. |
 |
| I made the straps adjustable and added some rivets. |
 |
| I added a zippered pocket to the back of the bag (not part of the pattern). I know I have to have some kind of exterior pocket and I have heard this from others too. You can see the "uncorked" fabric here really well. |
 |
| Inside is a nice bright fabric with a slip pocket. |
This bag has
SOLD.

Such beautiful fabrics in this one and yes, it does look like cork in that first picture. Another beauty by you!
ReplyDeleteFaux cork... what an idea! (Did they have a full range of shades available?) Looking forward to hearing about the Balloon Fiesta. Too bad you can't set up shop onsite and sell your bags there!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous messenger bag. I've never seen the uncorked fabric before, it is very pretty especially in blue.
ReplyDeletetis the season, i just put my hot air balloon pillow cases on my bed yesterday. i love messenger bag style bags and you made a really cute one. The uncorked fabric is a perfect compliment to the balloons. great job as always.

If you hadn't said it was cotton I would have sincerely thought it was cork.
ReplyDeleteYou do awesome work Daryl! I love the 'uncorked' fabric:)
ReplyDeleteFun Fabulous Bag for the Hot Air Balloon Festival. Your “uncorked” fabric really does look like the expensive cork fabric (which I love but cnnnot afford). Enjoy the show dear...<3
