I finished the messenger bag, 11" by 12''. There are two zippered compartments and another with a magnetic closure. The strap is a heavy nylon. There is a Swivel Snap Hook for keys. I did the quilting with gold metallic thread.
I enjoyed making this bag and can see making several of these for my nieces for Christmas. I know at least a couple of them would really like the bag. One niece (a nurses aide--trying to get her to go to nursing school) is really into purses of all kinds, probably more than shoes.
I really like this! Can I ask where you got the pattern?
ReplyDeleteI enjoy quilting too, but by the looks of your blog I'm not nearly as accomplished as you are.
The pattern and hardware come from Ghee's (http://www.ghees.com/). Would love to see your quilts. Do you know who Irma Gail Hatcher is? She lives in center Arkansas. I am no where near the quilter she is! (http://www.irmagailhatcher.com/)
