I Had An Idea!

 I wanted to make a bag, that had three pockets. And then I thought it would be really cool if it could be reversible! So I found some extra fabric, and planned my design...


This is the general look of the bag. I didn't know what to use for a strap, but then, after MUCH searching I found one that would work!

 This is a shot of the inside of the bag, when the flowery print is on the outside...

  This fabric is left over from a skirt that I made. Lindsay calls it my retro kilt ;-)

 These are the pockets when the "retro" fabric is on the outside

 And just to prove that IT CAN turn inside out, here is a tutorial...
It goes from 'retro' seen ^ above...

To this other 'pocket'!! Its really cool and I REALLY like it!

Now I mean its not perfect, and there are things I will do differently next time. But for an experiment, it turned out great! And usually my experiments don't turn out well ;-)

Sorry its been so long since I posted last!

I'll be back soon with a dramatic story of Wisdom Teeth Removal....

You need to sing at church before the wisdom teeth come out....

Love the bag!! You are so creative!

Tracy

It's adorable! With a little tweaking of the pattern to suit you, you COULD print them and sell them. Nicely done!

I love your bag, Emma! So cute! {This might weird you out, but I remember that "Retro skirt" from when we visited in July. I really liked the fabric.} :) The B&W design is cute too, and how hand to not have to switch purses every time you have an outfit that doesn't quite go with the bold prints!

Love,
Julianne
