My new bag and iPod case! Woot! Picture Heavy.

Okay, the first bag that I made is not too great, I didn't really know what I was doing and I used a brown cord that SUCKS, it rips at the seams, so I needed to redo it, or rather make a new one.

Here's my new bag!!!!! I think it came out great!



I'm still learning some stuff, and I FINALLY started pinning things, it's amazing how much this helps (I rarely pin when I sew, and then wonder why everything sucks).

 

Here's my new iPod case. It started out pretty good, and I'm relatively happy with it. It also has the first applique I've done. I originally was supposed to look like EQ bars, but I had problems with the third peice, so it's just weird now!

 

Here's the old bag, showing the crappy thing... under the flap is a pretty neat pocket and also my custom made buttons. I've started turning wood at my bro-in-laws on occassion, making beads and buttons!

 

oh, and the new bag is made of a hunterish green and tan cord, the colors aren't real great in the pictures.

 

They are AWESOME! I love the them all ...are you selling any of them? The i pod case is cute...I dont think it looks weird with only two bars...just say its abstract art I really like the top bag...it looks very clean and linear. Are you going to topstich around the top of the opening? I think it would really set it off. Keep up the good work !

 

the bag rocks... amazingly well done! Congrats to you!

 

you are rock star...

 

Those turned out awesome!!!

 

I've not really thought about selling anything, but I'm definetely open for trades!

Thank you, I'm really proud of the bag. I'd not considered topstitching, but I might look into that! It would also keep the liner from wanting to roll outside of the bag! Thanks for the idea.

 

They all are great! I especially love the way the Ipod case is designed to open up(plus I'm jealous that you have an Ipod, tee hee).

As for pinning, it is a wonderful thing! I used to not pin, but my parents told me that I should. Nah, I was too stubborn, but I finally started to and now I can't imagine trying to sew without using em.

 

hehe, yeah, I sewed 2 tents as one of my first projects, and the material was REALLY slippery and thin, and I was afraid that pins would effect the waterproofness and possibly rip the nylon, so I didn't use pins, and they turned out fine, so I didn't think I'd use them for much.... but now I know, Pins are neccessary!

I like my iPod a lot, but I would never have bought one. I won it from a radio station!
