A big and happy bag for Kelly!

It's been a long time since I last posted any entry. And that's because it's been a long time since I last sew. I have no inspirations with all the fabrics that I have stashed in my winnie the pooh box. But I want to sew. Like, BADLY!

So, I made a trip down to Spotlight and Chinatown to buy the best cloth that I can find! Woooohooooo! I fell in love with a few cloth at Spotlight. I was seriously in love.

The moment I saw this 2 fabrics, I knew I have to have them and I knew what I want to do with them. Muahahahahaha! HERE!!!

Doesn't the bag says 'HAPPY' all over? I love the colors and I love the polka dots and I love the strips. Everything that I love is all in it. How can I not fall madly in love with this??!! I'm still grinning with happiness just looking at the bag. Haha.


This is my first attempt in this design. Learned a lot of things from this! Haha.

First, having just a short piece at the side is not a great idea. Lol. I think people can steal my things easily. Okay, Maybe I could add a zipper next time. But, I'll lose the open concept feeling. Gah!

Heh. I seriously need more improvement on this:

I will sew this on only after making sure that all my fabric pieces are aligned. Hehs.

Make a smaller pocket next time. It's kinda tall. Oh, I added laces on because I thought the bag looked a little plain abeit colorful. And the timing of sewing of the lace should be pushed back a little. LOL!

More improvement on sewing straps. But heys! It's my best attempt so far! LOL! And urm, I love the feeling of having one design on one strap. This two fabrics must be together. LOL!

Not exactly the perfect bag yet, but it makes me really happy just looking at it. It will be a better one the next time!! =D
