I did finish the USMC purse for hire and it's going in the mail on the way to the airport. Here's the finished product (name blurred to protect the innocent still at boot camp!!):
See you Tuesday or shortly thereafter. Semper Fi!

Drive By
I know I still have 2 Giveways remaining to announce, but life kind of blew up this week. Nothing bad, just busy, busy. I'll catch up on everything when I get back. I'm off tomorrow for a long weekend at mom's and to see the Marine and my sister/BIL.

What a great bag! It looks awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! You do such beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip! How kind of you to make the bag, even though it's "for hire". Once I've done a project it's very hard for me to get motivated to replicate it. I'm a one trick pony. LOL
ReplyDeleteThe bag looks wonderful. I know you did thins on comission...would you do it again? I could see other Marine moms waning one. You could be in demand--do you think you could earn a little extra income don g this? Would you want to?
ReplyDeleteshoulda checked my typing. That's "this" not "thins", "wanting" not "waning" and "doing" not "don g"!
ReplyDeleteAs always, very nicely done! Have a great time with your family.

What a gorgeous bag and what a great use of the pockets, flaps, etc. Any ambitions to put out directions for how to do this with similar garments? hmmmm? (hint, hint)
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the bag. Peter and the internet don't know everything! Have a good trip.
ReplyDeleteHave fun! We'll be waiting to hear about your latest adventure when you get back!
ReplyDeleteThe bags are amazing. I love the repurposed fabric and how functional they look. I bought a book at the Borders closeout called The Bag Making Bible -- finally realized that I was too picky and just needed to start making my own purses. Wish me luck....
Great one-of-a-kind bag! Lucky lady who found you! Have a wonderful weekend.

That bag is fabulous. I think you are really on to something here and could make and sell these till the cows come home. Any proud Mom or wife would love this bag.
ReplyDeleteLove the bag.
ReplyDeleteAlmost all of my sewing involves purses and bags, and it looks to me like you did a great job! Did you mention the pattern you used? And I think this must be the year of life's blow ups! I have to wonder just how the planets are aligned and hope to hell they are positioned differently next year!
ReplyDeleteJust discovered your blog while over at MPB...I LOVE/ADMIRE your projects! Btw, you did an awesome job on this bag. I'm a new follower, hope you will stop by sometimes.
ReplyDeletePerfect job on the bag! I hope you charged what you are worth for it.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! Have a good trip with your family and enjoy.
