Nope, I don't stay away from bags for long. During my "sew time" this weekend I managed to make the tweaks that I had in mind for this bag. This time I didn't do the pieced insert, but I'll get to that soon enough. Because I was working on the overall shape, I went with a solid insert, just to make sure that the basic shape and proportions were right.
It feels right now (and I LOVE that insert fabric, which reminds me of fruit stripe gun). The insert ws a little too wide on that last version, causing the straps to be a little too far apart. This one works out much better. I think I'll use this one now, and put the yellow one in the shop for cheap. I do NOT need another bag hanging around. In case you're wondering, this will be my next bag pattern, available real soon.
Also going in the shop is this one. I started making it weeks ago, but it got tossed aside for some reason. I think this was part of my whole curve obsession. I have a few more bags I need to upload to the shop as well, the Pretty in Pleats cover bag and this one. Wanna know a secret? I HATE uploading things to etsy. Product descriptions - yuck! Pricing - double yuck! I can't promise that they'll be there tomorrow, or even the next day, but one day soon...if you're interested in one of these before I get it uploaded, just send me an email, we can work something out :)
