used some old scraps from my hoodie and thai fisherman pants to make this for my sisters. i owe them presents for their 21st birthday this year :P the fabric on the outside is flannel-like material (i think) and i've lined it with linen. It feels hardy, and i'm pretty sure it'll last because i've hemmed in all the edges so no frays!
I was actually supposed to make my sisters each a hoodie, but i got lazy and took a long time to do anything about it. it has been 9months since their birthday now. i finally got my ass down to making one. i loved the results! i really want to keep the bag for myself but then i'll never get my sisters anything. so this bag is the first present, then i'm going to make them a pair of fisherman pants, and then i'll think of the 3rd present (i have 3 sisters,
you see. and their birthdays all fall on the same day, so poor me.) and i've also decided to spend one day every weekend making something crafty. wheeeeee! sara and anthony both requested for a pair of fisherman pants after they saw what i made. that's great news because it's an affirmation of what i am capable of! *happy*
well, i must say, the bag looks pretty good on me. :p can't bear to give it away. but making presents for people is fun, especially when you see the looks on their faces when they receive them. so next week, i'm going to start on sara or anthony's fisherman pants. my next new project is going to be to learn how to make a boat neck long sleeve shirt for myself. i saw some cool stretchy pink-and-grey-stripy material at the fabric market today. I can already visualise using that for my boat neck shirt. now to google and find a tutorial for making that shirt! ooh! let the fun begin!
