my floor...

is currently an ocean of fabric triangles.
i have one and a half sets of bag stripes done
*another buzz lightyear bag to sell
*pink&brown checks
- that would be my half... i couldn't find the right shade of brown at wal mart to alternate with it, so i need to go search possibly later today at joanns. or tomorrow.
in line to cut out:
*nemo fabric (somewhat like the buzz lightyear style of bag)
* angelina ballerina (two different prints)
*airforce <- that might not get done... still trying to figure out what i'm going to do with that one. i have two prints but don't know if i want to go total patriotic ness and throw some american flag fabric in there, or what i want to alternate with.
so there you have it. i had to resend my seller's permit, because my driver's licence fax was unable to be read. later today i need to finish my bella vista craft fair application and send that to lisa, so that she can send both ours in together. oh happy first day of not having a job...
i start subbing dance classes weds, but joanna is having me do three days with her... so here goes. :/

we all live in a yellow submarine

well... FINALLY the bags are done...

insert sigh of relief. although, the strap on my bag is crooked.

oh well. and that was even after taking it out and redoing it once.

annoying part of bag 1 - view a's rounded corners...
NOT fun to sew at all. but hey, it doesn't look bad... in my opinion.

my goal was to have both sides of the bag to look the same (heads on the right, "the beatles" on the left...) yeah. my mistake when cutting out the pieces. but it looks fab anyways :P

inside pocket has the beatles heads print inside, and the strap (attatched with D rings) had "the beatles" all over print. nice and roomy. also has magnetic snap.
i've concidered making another one of these bags,

but i'll have to figure out when i'll have patience to do another one. haa haa

those corners kill me!

i'm determined to figure out a way to maybe do an alteration on the bag.

perhaps squared corners... lol. idk.

now, on to my bag :)
each strip is a different buzz lighyear print...

well, more or less

6 different fabrics, 2 doubled up.

the outside two are from the same fabric - dark blue background

looks like individuals of buzz and zurg (left over from my window seat cushion fabric)

that took some creative cutting for sure :P

i wanted to try and get as much buzz in the triangle i could.

some fit better than others... lol and have the same "pose"

other than that, some creative arrangement of the strips

and whaa laa, amazing laptop sized carrying bag :)

simple black lining, pocket is one of the coordinating buzz prints.

now if only i had somewhere to take my laptop to and show off my bag. haa haa.

i may have to make another one of these to list on our etsy site. :P

i bought some other fabric to do some different variations on bags using buzz lightyear fabrics, as well as need to make a quilt of all my different lightyear prints. haa haa

so you can see the itty bit-ness of my laptop in comparison to this bag :P

on other notes

got my cricut cartridge alphalicious the other day,

as well as won lyrical letters font on ebay today.

lovely day off from work .

do i really have to go tomorrow?

heh.

to infinity, and beyond!

well, here i am on the floor, updating while taking a fabric cutting break.
i decided to make myself a buzz lightyear bag for this itty bit of a laptop
and instead of doing buzz lightyear print alternating with a different color like the original plan
for my bag i opted to do all 8 strips as buzz lightyear print.
now i'm sure you're thinking "wouldnt that be a bit repetative?"
of course not! not when i have 6 different buzz lightyear prints!
haa haa. yes, i love my buzz lightyear fabric :D
as of tonight, i plan to just do some fabric cutting, and then start assembling tomorrow after i'm home from work - i also need to get more magnetic snaps for these bags.
i've got piles of fabric around me, so i should prob get back to cutting.
hopefully, if all goes well, i'll have a bag or two photographed and uploaded tomorrow night for your viewing pleasure
