Messenger Bag In Progress..
Well, I was tired of studying.. sigh.. needed a change so I broke out the sewing machine! Oh man.. I haven’t touched it since the time I made my moo moo laptop cover.
I think I like sewing, just that I’m a little too impatient. Anyway, I banged together the initial outsides, I’m going to get some vinyl and make the inside nice and plastic like my manhattan portage. I broke the needle twice.. haha.. the thing is just too thick and this machine isn’t really an industrial strength one.. I have to go buy some needles when I’m free. Also have to get some high quality thread like the ones I used on me and yx’s pencil cases. Why is it so butt ugly now? All the edges you see are going to be covered up, the inside is going to be totally covered by vinyl. The only ugly ugly is the pockets outside which I cannot hide the seams. Anyway, I’m liking how it is. The cut’s a little strange cos I din really cut it properly.. but thats the point of this bag.. to just see what mistakes I’ll make. For the record, this is ONE army pants. haha.. cool right! The leftover I see what I can do. Like this I can make about 4 more to practise.
