When I was 11 I sewed my very first thing - an outfit, shorts and shirt - it was well, there are no words. I suppose I did a good job, except for the fact the fabric was TOTALLY early 90’s and I learned I didn’t have patience to sew. You have to find the fabric, cut out the pattern pieces then pin them to the fabric, then cut the fabric out, then sew, and well - it was too much. Until last month - I want a sewing machine I keep thinking about it, I go to Joanne Fabrics at least once a week, and LOVE it! For the past several months ever since I upgraded to a 17” laptop I CANNOT find a bag that is the right size, well, I take that back, I can find the right size, I just can’t find a non-mannish looking one that doesn’t come in a LARGE carryon version. So, I decided to make one on my own. So this past weekend, I went and bought fabric, and in the next few weeks when I get the time to go over to our wonderful neighbors house who is so kindly helping me alter a bag pattern and let me borrow her sewing machine I will have a new laptop bag!
So here is the fabric for my first grown up sewing experiment experience!
The top print is for the outside.
The pink quilters bottom, the lining.
The black quilters bottom, the sides-bottom-strap.
They also had there ‘jewelry’ notions on sale for buy one and get one - so I’m planning on putting them outside in a corner kinda clumped haphazardly grouped nicely together on the bottom corner.
I’m so ridiculously excited about this project!
