The Mad Sewer is Back!

In my post Here I mentioned that I had started a sewing project that would post about when it was finished. Well folks, today is the day!
After going on another one of my sewing crazes, with much waiting for notions to arrive, I finally finished my big project. This has probably been the most technical thing I've ever made and I am super excited about it.
Here it is...
My laptop/messenger bag.
I found the pattern at Joanne's for three dollars, and just couldn't resist buying it.
I'm a bag lady, but let me clarify. I don't really use bags and this one is so huge I don't know what I will use it for, I just have this weakness for sewing bags. They are such fun to sew and there are so many different styles and techniques to try.
Here's what is under the flap...
Now for the inside..
and the back...
The reason it took me so long to finish is because I had to order a one of the zippers and all the hardware.

Now that school is coming to a close and I have more time, I'm going to start some more sewing projects. I am going to try and post everything I make, so stay tuned! 

Anyone have any sewing projects in progress?
Did this post inspire you to sew even a tiny bit?

  2. I absolutely love the bag!! You did a fabulous job, Lacy!! For some reason, sewing and I never seemed to get along, but now I kinda regret it. But someday, I might learn to, hopefully. ;)
